					<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Ukraine&#039;s General Staff Morning Report:

&lt;/strong&gt;Operational information as of 08:00 on September 24, 2026, regarding the Russian invasion

Glory to Ukraine!
The 1674th day of the Russian Federation&#039;s full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine has begun.

In the past 24 hours, a total of &lt;strong&gt;277 combat contacts&lt;/strong&gt; were recorded.
Yesterday, the enemy carried out &lt;strong&gt;83 airstrikes&lt;/strong&gt;, during which &lt;strong&gt;287 guided aerial bombs&lt;/strong&gt; were dropped. Additionally, the attackers used &lt;strong&gt;7,467 kamikaze drones&lt;/strong&gt; and conducted &lt;strong&gt;2,469 shellings&lt;/strong&gt; against communities and our troops&#039; positions, including &lt;strong&gt;93 with rocket artillery&lt;/strong&gt;.

Hostile shelling affected, among others, the communities of Bezsalivka, Korenok, Ulanove, Rohizne, Tovstodubove, Potapivka, Sopych, Kucherivka, Fotovyzh, Volfyne, Malushyne, Rudenka, Khrinivka, Yastrubshchyna, Neskuchne, Bachivsk, and Nova Sloboda in the Sumy region, as well as Mykhalchyna-Sloboda and Krasnyi Khutir in the Chernihiv region. Tovstodubove was also subjected to an airstrike.

In the past 24 hours, the defense forces&#039; aviation, missile units, and artillery struck an area with a concentration of enemy personnel and an artillery system belonging to the occupiers.

On the northern Slobozhansky and Kursk sectors, eight enemy assault attempts were recorded in the past 24 hours. The attacker carried out an airstrike with three guided aerial bombs and 58 shellings against our troops&#039; positions and communities, including six with rocket artillery.

On the southern Slobozhansky sector, Ukrainian units repelled 11 enemy attacks. The attackers attempted to advance towards the communities of Ternova, Starytsia, Vovtjansk, Karaichne, Mala Vovcha, Ozerne, and Obukhivka.

On the Kupiansk sector, the enemy tried on three occasions to improve their positions through assault operations towards Kurylivka, Novoosynove, and Kivsharivka.

Attempts to break into our defense were repelled on the Lyman sector, where the occupiers conducted 15 attacks towards the communities of Novoselivka, Drobysheve, Lyman, Masliakivka, Dibrova, and Shyikivka.

On the Sloviansk sector, the enemy conducted six assault attempts in the areas around Yampil, Starodubivka, and Mykolaivka.

On the Kramatorsk sector, the enemy attacked towards Yurkivka.

On the Kostyantynivka sector, 30 attacks were recorded. The attackers carried out assault operations in the area around Kostyantynivka and towards Ivanopillia, Novoselivka, Mykolaipillia, Stepanivka, Novopavlivka, Raiske, Toretske, Vilne, and Stepy.

On the Pokrovsk sector, the enemy conducted 23 attacks. The occupiers attempted to advance towards the communities of Svitlé, Novyi Donbas, Bilytske, Novohrishyne, Hulive, Serhiivka, Molodetske, Muravka, and Novopavlivka.

On the Oleksandrivka sector, the enemy conducted no assault operations.

On the Huljajpole sector, the occupiers attacked our defenders&#039; positions ten times. The enemy tried to advance towards the communities of Rizdvianka and Kopani.

On the Orikhiv sector, the enemy attempted on seven occasions to improve their positions towards Zarichne, Novoandriivka, Pavlivka, and Prymorske.

On the Prydniprovsk sector, the occupiers attacked towards Marhanets and Dniprovske.

On the Volyn and Polissja sectors, no signs have been detected that the enemy is forming offensive groupings.

In total, the Russian attackers&#039; losses in the past 24 hours amounted to 1,540 personnel. Additionally, 15 armored combat vehicles, 24 artillery systems, two rocket artillery systems, four air defense systems, one aircraft (confirmed for an earlier period), four ground-based missile systems, 792 unmanned aerial vehicles, 229 vehicles, and three units of special equipment were neutralized.

&lt;strong&gt;Join the defense forces! Together we will prevail! Glory to Ukraine!&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Comment:&lt;/em&gt;
The report specifies exact numbers for 114 localized attacks but does not specify numbers for the attacks on the Prydniprovsk sector (some uncertainty thus).
The unlocalized attacks then amount to 227-114 = 113. 113/114 gives a ratio of &lt;strong&gt;0.99.&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
