[Korrespondent] 18:04 The number of victims as a result of today's Russian strike on the village of Cherkasskaya Lozovaya in the Kharkiv region has grown to ten, including two children. Two people died, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov.
17:49 Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that Ukraine has given the United States a list of targets on Russian territory that it wants to strike with ATACMS missiles. According to him, the partners are currently reviewing this request. The minister said that the list includes airfields.
Umerov also claims that the dismissal of the Commander of the Ukrainian Air Force Mykola Oleshchuk is not connected with the death of one of the best Ukrainian pilots, Oleksiy Mes, during the F-16 crash. "I would probably say that this is a rotation, these are two separate issues... At this stage, I would not connect them," the Ukrainian minister noted.
16:18 The Russian army struck the village of Cherkasskaya Lozovaya in the Kharkiv region - two people were killed, eight were wounded, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov.

13:03 The United States has refused to send specialists to Ukraine to service F-16s, The Wall Street Journal writes. According to the publication's sources, the National Security Council has considered a proposal to send civilian contractors to Ukraine to service Western equipment, including F-16 fighters, but intelligence and other agencies have said it would be too risky. The United States hopes that European countries will take on most of the obligations to service the F-16s, the newspaper's sources added.
11:04 Ukraine has deployed one of its few offensive brigades, the Kara-Dag Brigade, to the area around Pokrovsk, writes Forbes analyst David Axe. Kara-Dag, one of the National Guard's offensive brigades, was formed in 2014. The brigade fought near Melitopol in the early days of the full-scale war and remained in virtually the same area for two years. But now it has been redeployed to the east because that is where the toughest fighting is taking place, Axe added.
10:17 Air defense destroyed 24 of 52 Shahed-131/136 attack UAVs at night, another 25 crashed on their own, the Air Force reported. Two drones flew in the direction of Russia, another one - to Belarus. In addition, Russia attacked with an Iskander-M ballistic missile and four S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles.

"The Unmanned Systems Forces, as a separate branch of the military, are in the process of formation and development. This process requires understanding, patience, and sometimes silence," the statement said. Earlier, this appointment was criticized on social networks, including by MP Maryana Bezugla.

07:57 Ukraine's military operation in Russia's Kursk region is legal and falls under Kiev's right to self-defense, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said: "Ukraine has the right to self-defense. And under international law, this right does not end at the border." The Secretary General added that NATO was not informed in advance of Ukraine's plans and did not play any role in them.
At the same time, Stoltenberg believes that Ukraine is taking a risk by advancing on Russian territory, but Kyiv itself must decide how to conduct its military campaign. "President Zelenskyy has made it clear that the operation is aimed at creating a buffer zone to prevent further Russian attacks across the border. Like all military operations, this is associated with risks. But it is Ukraine's decision how to defend itself," he explained.
07:40 At night, Russians fired artillery at Nikopol and Marganets in the Dnipropetrovsk region, one person was injured, reported the head of the OVA, Serhiy Lysak.
05:24 Russia has detained two Colombian citizens who fought on the side of Ukraine and accused them of "mercenarism," the Russian FSB reported. According to the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, both Colombians were detained in the Venezuelan capital Caracas and extradited to Russia. The sister of one of the detainees reported that the Colombians attracted the attention of the Venezuelan police because they had a Ukrainian army uniform. Alexander Arte and Jose Aron Medina were heading home to Colombia with a stopover in Caracas.
00:38 Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState reports that the Russian army has occupied Karlovka in the Pokrovsk direction, and has also advanced in Galitsynovka, Stelmakhovka, near Dolinovka and Peschanoye.
00:26 The UN Charter gives Ukraine the right to "project force" into the territory of an aggressor country, said British representative Fergus Eckersley during a UN Security Council meeting. The UN Security Council meeting was held on Friday, August 30, at Russia's request in connection with the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine.
"Direct strikes on civilian infrastructure are a war crime. Under Article 51 of the UN Charter, Ukraine has the right to defend itself against attacks by Russia. This does not deprive it of the right to project force into Russian territory if these actions comply with international law," Eckersley emphasized.
In turn, the Permanent Representative of France Nicolas de Riviere also stated that Paris supports Ukraine's right to strike military targets on Russian territory: "Russia strikes Ukrainian border regions from military facilities located beyond the Russian border. Ukrainians must have the ability to strike the facilities from which Russia is committing its aggression. Ukrainians must have the ability to neutralize military targets directly involved in operations against them.

"Among them are Khrenovka, Ulanovo, Velikaya Pisarevka, Slavgorod and Stepok. Sopich was shelled twice, and Porozok three times. Russian terrorists targeted Glukhov, Manukhovka, Zhuravka and Obody with aerial bombs, in particular," the report says.
In the Kharkov direction, the enemy attack continues in the area of Volchansk, Liptsy and Malye Prokhody suffered bomb strikes.
In the Kupyansk direction, the Russians began to storm the positions of our units 12 times near Sinkovka, Kolesnikovka and in the direction of Lozovaya; six combat clashes are still ongoing.

In the Toretsk direction, the number of enemy attacks has increased to nine. Our soldiers stopped eight of them. The battle is still being fought in the Nelipovka area, where the enemy is attacking most actively, the report continues.
But the greatest number of armed clashes are in the Pokrovsky direction.
"Since the beginning of the day, the occupiers have already made 23 attempts to push our defenders from their positions in the areas of seven different settlements. Most of the clashes, almost half, took place near Novogrodovka. Selidovo and Pokrovsk were hit by UABs," the General Staff clarified.
It is also reported that 21 enemy attacks were recorded in the direction of Ukrainsk, Lesovka, Galitsynovka, Georgievka and Konstantinovka in the Kurakhovsky direction. The occupiers made their main efforts in the areas of Georgievka and Konstantinovka - they carried out eleven and five assaults, respectively.
In the Vremovsky direction, two military clashes continue near Ugledar and Vremovka; the enemy has attacked three more times in the direction of Makarovka, but has received a tough rebuff.
In the Orekhov direction, the occupiers unsuccessfully attacked three times - at Malaya Tokmachka and Rabotino. Twenty unguided air missiles were launched at Rivnepolye.
In the Dnieper direction, one enemy assault was successfully repelled.
In other directions there are no significant changes.

#2 Not going to happen. Mongolia lies between Russia and China and has good relations to both. The visit to new president of Mexico Putin will not attend because the close proximity to extreme war elites (three letter abbreviations) in the states. Russia’s top diplomat Lavrov will attend in Putin's place they say. The ICC is losing face anyway. Seems it is considered a US tool. Mongolia has indicated Putin can visit with no ill will.

[NewsFront] 21:03 Artillerymen destroyed UAV control point of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson direction
Intelligence discovered the location of the control point for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' unmanned aerial vehicles in one of the abandoned buildings on the right bank of the Dnieper. After further reconnaissance and confirmation of the target, the artillerymen received the order to destroy it.
The building with the Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel was destroyed by the precise fire of the 152mm D-20 gun crew. The target was hit by objective control footage.
19:54 Russian UAV operators “finished off” a Ukrainian HMMWV that had previously hit a mine in the Khar'kov region –video.
19:15 Russian Aerospace Forces struck Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities in the temporarily occupied Mirnograd, the Donbas Partizan channel reported.
The target was the territory of the Dimitrov Experimental Mechanical Plant (DEMZ). The plant's workshops and equipment were used for the repair and maintenance of military equipment.
18:50 Anti-tank crews of the Airborne Forces of the Dnepr group of forces destroyed during the rotation of a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants in the Kherson region.
18:20 Artillerymen of the "North" group of troops "smash" the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the border area of the Kursk region -video.
17:47 The Russian Armed Forces destroyed a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region –video.
17:31 Situation in the South Donetsk direction from "Frontovaya Ptichka":
"Our fighters are attacking the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village of Vodyanoye. The enemy is probably planning a retreat to Bogoyavlenka.
The liberation of Vodyane will seriously worsen the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this section of the front, and the Ugledar garrison will begin to suffer even more.
Even Syrsky’s panicky transfer of Ukrainian Armed Forces units from one place to another does not help.”
16:57 Calculation of the 122mm BM-21 MLRS "Grad" of the Dnepr group of troops struck accumulation of Ukrainian Armed Forces manpower north of Rabotino in the Zaporizhia region.
16:35 Artillerymen from the Dnepr group of forces destroyed UAV control point of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson direction.
15:57 Russian Aerospace Forces Su-34 bomber destroyed manpower and armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the border area of ??the Kursk region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
15:22 In the DPR, in the Pokrovsk direction, a large cauldron for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is “emerging,” stated VGTRK reporter Andrei Rudenko.
“Several thousand servicemen of the Kyiv regime could end up in it,” Rudenko wrote on his Telegram channel.
15:05 Ukrainian Telegram channels reported explosions in Khar'kov.
14:47 Situation in the Pokrovsky direction from "Military Chronicle"
After reaching Grodovka, the “petals” of the offensive began to open up to the north in the Elizavetovka area.
Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are under threat of a strike towards the junction at Konstantinovka. Lysovka, adjacent to Pokrovsk, is also currently considered by the Ukrainian Armed Forces command on the ground as an "unstable line of defense" that they will most likely not hold on to until the last soldier.
At the same time, fighting is taking place in the Selidovo area - the city is 25% occupied by Russian troops, but after Novogrodovka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces drew conclusions and pulled up reserves for defense and slowed down the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to Pokrovsk from the south.
The southern flank is still considered a priority for defense, so here, judging by the dynamics of the fighting, Ukrainian troops will most likely resist to the last.
There is some confusion: retreating units are mixed with defense units (with their own command and control), which is why rotation and replenishment of ammunition/equipment occurs in a chaotic manner, which is used by Russian artillery. Krasnopols and FPV drones are actively working.
14:32 Attack drone crews of the 4th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade and the AKHMAT special forces in the area of ??Chasov Yar destroyed personnel of the 5th Separate Assault Battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

[Regnum] The head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, has made another appeal to Western countries asking them to lift the ban on long-range missile strikes against Russia.
He addressed his speech to the authorities of Germany, France, the USA and Britain.
“We need both long-range permits and your long-range missiles and shells,” Zelensky said on his Telegram channel.
The leader of the Ukrainian Nazis added that vital decisions cannot be postponed.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the escalatory course of the US authorities is becoming increasingly provocative, stated the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
According to her, the White House is preparing to completely untie Zelensky's hands to use virtually any type of American weapons, including deep into Russian territory.
The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, called on EU countries to completely lift restrictions on strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territory.
Kiev and the European Union have asked US President Joe Biden to allow Ukrainian troops to strike all of Russia.
Earlier, Zelensky said that he had received a message from the United States about the possibility of using Western weapons supplied to Ukraine to strike Russian territory. In addition, he said that it was only a matter of time before the Ukrainian Armed Forces received permission from the West to fire at Russia with any weapons.

Only with technical support and local operations. Major red line for Russia. Z has failed so many times in his Hitler like delusions. He lacks the results required to see effective executions. His camo pattern shirts are now black. Internal conflicts have increased dramatically.
#2
IMO, all Russian military airfields, UAV launch sites and logistics centers should be considered OK to target with HIMAR.
Maybe not ammo depot and fuel depots yet. Could save that for some other time.

What’s that bright ever increasing light I’m seeing in the eastern sky? Is that the northeastern coast of the USA going up in nuclear fire? C’mon people! Start using your heads.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
