[Korrespomdent] 19:35 Russians shelled the village of Staroverovka in the Kupyansk district of the Kharkiv region, one person was killed, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. Another five people were injured as a result of enemy shelling of Malaya Danilovka, the State Emergency Service reported.

18:14 There is no consensus yet among the allies on lifting restrictions on the use of long-range weapons for strikes against the Russian Federation, but discussions are ongoing, Zelensky said. At the same time, he recalled how he worked on the use of such weapons in Crimea: "There was no consensus then either, but it is important to find the key to at least one country, and then others can follow suit." The President said that he had already discussed this issue with a number of European leaders, and if the situation in the country allows him to travel to the UN General Assembly in September, "we will summarize the results of all these meetings with President Biden."

As for the situation in the Pokrovsk direction, according to Zelensky, over the past few days it “has been better,” but we need to wait for stabilization.

15:37 Spain joined the IT coalition as part of the Rammstein meeting. This is the 13th partner country to join the special group to support Ukraine in the field of IT, communications and cybersecurity, the Ministry of Defense reported.

15:12 The number of victims as a result of the Russian strike on Pavlograd in the Dnipropetrovsk region on September 6 has risen to 82 , including seven minors, reported the head of the OVA, Serhiy Lysak.

14:58 In Soldatskoye, Voronezh Region, an ammunition depot where missiles from the DPRK were stored has been destroyed, claims the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko. Ukrainian media write, citing sources, that the depot was attacked by SBU drones. At the moment, four sources of powerful fire and continuous detonation of ammunition have been recorded at the facility.

13:26 Russians shelled Konstantinovka in Donetsk Oblast with artillery - three people were killed and four were wounded, OVA head Vadim Filashkin reported. High-rise buildings, an administrative building, a store, a pharmacy, cars, and power lines were damaged.

11:23 Iran has sent Russia more than 200 ballistic missiles, The Times reports. These are likely Fath-300 missiles, which can reach targets up to 112 km away.

11:17 Ukrainian drones are capable of hitting military targets at a distance of up to 1,800 km, Budanov said in his congratulatory address on the occasion of Military Intelligence Day.

11:11 After a night drone attack near the Verkhovna Rada building, debris from a downed drone was found, the parliament reported and showed a photo:

09:29 Three people were killed in Donetsk Oblast as a result of Russian shelling on September 6: two in Toretsk and one in Raigorodka. Three more people in the region were injured in the past 24 hours, said OVA head Vadim Filashkin.

09:22 The number of victims as a result of yesterday's Russian strike on the city of Lyubotin in the Kharkiv district has increased to six, including two teenagers aged 14 and 16, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. In addition, one person was injured as a result of enemy shelling of the Solonitsivka community in the Kharkiv district and another in the city of Kupyansk.

09:16 Air defense destroyed 58 out of 67 Shahed-type attack UAVs at night, the Air Force reported. Another six drones flew in the direction of Russia, Belarus and the temporarily occupied Luhansk region. Three enemy UAVs were lost on Ukrainian territory (probably fell under the influence of electronic warfare systems). Air defense operated in Vinnytsia, Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Sumy, Kherson and Poltava regions.

09:04 The EU will allocate 300 million euros from the income from frozen Russian assets to France to purchase weapons for Ukraine, the French Ministry of Defense reported. France, along with other EU member states, will take part in the implementation of a new measure to support Ukraine. We are talking about using about 1.4 billion euros from the income from Russian assets to purchase military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thanks to this financing, the French industry will be able to quickly acquire priority weapons for Ukraine, in particular ammunition, artillery and air defense systems.

08:43 Forbes writes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have launched a counterattack near Pokrovsk. According to the publication, Ukrainian reinforcements - at least the Kara-Dag Brigade of the National Guard, the 12th Azov and 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade - are currently conducting small-scale counterattacks, the main effect of which is to slow down or roll back Russian successes. Well-trained reservists are holding back the Russians near Selidovo and giving them no chance to advance to Pokrovsk. The loss of momentum by the Russian Armed Forces allows the Ukrainian Armed Forces to dig in and strengthen their positions around Pokrovsk before winter.

08:35 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of September 7:

  • personnel - about 623,990 (+1270) people,

  • special equipment - 3037 (+0).

08:18 In the Ostrogozhsky District of the Voronezh Region, a drone attacked an ammunition depot, causing a fire and detonation. Governor Alexander Gusev reported that the drone was allegedly suppressed by electronic warfare and fell. According to him, due to the fire and subsequent detonation, residents of one village were temporarily evacuated to a neighboring settlement. A state of emergency was declared. According to preliminary information, no civilians were injured.

07:39 The number of victims of the Russian strike on Pavlograd in Dnipropetrovsk region on September 6 has risen to 74 , reported the head of the OVA, Serhiy Lysak.

06:41 Russia attacked Kiev with drones, all of them were destroyed, said the head of the Kyiv State Air Defense Forces Sergey Popko. As a result of the attack in the Pechersk district, debris fell at four different addresses, a fire was discovered in an open area, which has already been extinguished. Preliminary, there are no casualties or damage in the city.

02:27 Iran's transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia would mean a sharp escalation of the war in Ukraine, White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett said. Reuters reports that the transfer of missiles comes after the United States and partners warned Iran that such a move could have consequences. Meanwhile, Iran's representatives at the UN said that Tehran "considers it inhumane to provide military assistance to parties to the conflict" and "not only refrains from such actions, but also calls on other countries to stop supplying weapons to the parties."

In the Ugledar direction of the RF Armed Forces crossed over from active defense to a rapid offensive from the flanks in the Vodyanoye area. The successful advance was preceded by a summer operation to straighten the front line and reach the Ugledar-Konstantinovka highway, one of the most important supply routes for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, now under the control of the Russian army.

The main task now is to clear the mine, but the matter is complicated by a number of multi-storey buildings on the outskirts, where the enemy has entrenched itself and is preventing our assault units from entering the city - it is their capture that will ensure control of the industrial zone. At the same time, units of the Russian Armed Forces are squeezing Ugledar in pincers, actively advancing in Pavlovka and Vodyanoye.

FSB releases documents on Nazi crimes at Donbass mine
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The special services of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), as part of the "No Statute of Limitations" project, declassified documents from the KGB archive about the atrocities of German soldiers at the Stalino mine during the Great Patriotic War. This was reported on September 7 by the FSB Directorate of Russia for the republic.

The documents were handed over to the Donetsk Museum of the Great Patriotic War on the occasion of the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Donbass from the Nazi invaders. The acts contain information about the victims of the German occupiers at the 4-4-bis mine in Stalino.

"During the German occupation, the fascist invaders, from December 1941 to September 1943, exterminated Soviet citizens by shooting and in gas chambers. Moreover, a mine shaft was chosen as the place to hide the corpses," the documents state.

The first act listed the bodies and remains that had been discovered. Some showed signs of serious mutilation and bullet wounds. From a depth of 65 m, 61 male bodies, 23 female bodies, and seven children aged 10 to 18 were raised. It was specified that a total of 112 bodies had been recovered. Due to the absence of some body parts, some could not be identified.

The second act announced the creation of a special commission to investigate the circumstances of the destruction of Soviet citizens in the mine. It also provided forensic medical examination data on the methods used by German soldiers to kill civilians.

The FSB Directorate for the DPR noted that archival materials will be used to recognize the genocide of the people of Donbass by the Nazis and their accomplices during the Great Patriotic War.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 8, the DPR special services released documents from the archives of the State Security Committee, which testify to the mass genocide of Donbass residents during the Great Patriotic War. According to the declassified documents, the number of victims of the genocide of Donbass residents amounts to several thousand people, mainly women and children. The names of accomplices of the fascists, traitors who voluntarily went over to the side of the Germans for their own benefit, also became known.

Cyber
200 hacker attacks repelled in Moscow over two days of elections
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Two hundred cyber attacks have been repelled following two days of voting in the Moscow elections. The online voting system is operating normally. This was reported to journalists on September 7 by Alexander Asafov, Deputy Head of the Public Headquarters for Election Observation in Moscow.

At the Public Headquarters for Election Observation in Moscow
As Asafov clarified, no anomalies in remote electronic voting have been observed; the system is operating normally, despite cyberattacks.

"Observers, accordingly, monitor all stages of voting, the system operates normally, despite the fact that, of course, attacks are being undertaken. And technical specialists reported that 200 computer attacks were blocked," Asafov noted and added that malicious activity was observed from more than 2.7 thousand IP addresses.

According to Asafov, with the help of cyberattacks, IT specialists are trying to find vulnerabilities in the electronic voting system, which is protected from standard hacker attacks on its nodes thanks to preliminary testing and technical work.

Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that over two days of elections for Moscow City Duma deputies, more than 2.6 million people voted in Moscow. Of these, over 2.3 million people used the online voting system.

Elections in Moscow will be held on September 6, 7 and 8, 2024. City residents will elect deputies of the Moscow City Duma of the eighth convocation, municipal deputies in eight municipal districts of TiNAO (Bekasovo, Voronovo and Krasnopakhorsky, Vnukovskoye, Kommunarka, Filimonkovsky, Shcherbinka and the urban district of Troitsk) and in the municipal district of Kurkino.

US Intel Undercuts DOJ's 'Foreign Interference' Claim Used To Smear Conservative Pundits
[ZeroHedge] The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) announced Friday that it has not “observed” any foreign interference only domestic in the 2024 election, seemingly undermining cynical remarks by Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The ODNI’s Foreign Malign Influence Center (FMIC) stated in a 2-page report that the intelligence community “has not observed any foreign actor seeking to interfere in the conduct of the 2024 elections.” Natalie Winters, a co-host of the Steve Bannon WarRoom podcast, first reported these findings.
