On September 7, Ukrainian military intelligence claimed Russian drones targeted Kyiv amid a temporary cessation of attacks on the capital. Russia reportedly possesses sufficient resources to sustain the conflict through 2028, according to Ukrainian military intelligence. Reports emerged of a Russian attack causing damage in Brovary and Boryspil districts of Kyiv Oblast.

At 7:42 p.m. local time, Kyiv authorities issued a new air raid warning, urging residents to seek shelter due to missile threats. The drone activity unfolded during an agreement between Russia and Ukraine, stipulating that no capital cities would be attacked while U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited for peace talks.

Despite the truce, Russia continued attacks on other Ukrainian regions. In Crimea, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted a railway bridge, Russian aircraft, a Russian command post in Luhansk, an ammunition depot in Luhansk Oblast, and an automated reconnaissance system in Crimea. Meanwhile, Kyiv shortened its curfew to 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., effective from midnight on September 10, amid intensified Russian aerial attacks on the capital.
