MOSCOW, September 26 - RIA Novosti. Units of the "Center" group of troops destroyed up to 40 encircled Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel in the Dobropillya region in the DPR within 24 hours; there were no attempts to break through, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Saturday.

Russian air defense systems shot down four guided bombs, two HIMARS shells and 1,222 drones in one day. The interceptions affected dozens of regions and sea areas.

The Russian armed forces took control of the settlements of Mariyino in the Sumy region, as well as Lozovoye and Petropavlovka in the Kharkov region.

Romania scrambled two F-16 and two F-18 fighter jets due to an air target detected by radar in Ukraine near the border. There was no violation of Romanian airspace.

Advisor to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Sergei Beskrestnov said that with the onset of cold weather, the Russian army will gain an advantage thanks to UAVs with thermal imagers capable of hitting warm objects.

With the onset of cold weather, Ukrainian thermal power plants and substations may become more noticeable to Russian Geranium drones due to their heat signature, said Sergei Beskrestnov, an adviser to Vladimir Zelensky. He noted that attempts to hide energy facilities may turn out to be an illusion, since special cameras allow them to be detected by their thermal signature, which complicates protection in winter.

Over the course of 24 hours, 160 Ukrainian aircraft-type drones were destroyed over the territory of the Bryansk region. Air defense units of the Ministry of Defense, mobile fire groups of the BARS-Bryansk brigade, MTF of the Bryansk Regional Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on transport and special forces of the Russian Guard in the Bryansk region took part in the destruction of the drones. This was announced by Acting Governor Yegor Kovalchuk.
