- Russia has closed the German consulate in St Petersburg and every Goethe-Institut. Fourteen newsrooms are covering it. The Russian foreign ministry ordered the consulate general to shut by 18 September at the latest and Goethe-Institut staff to leave the country by 13 September.

Putin called the German steps a "grave mistake" and spoke of falsified evidence; Lavrov called them "the beginning of a real war". Russia continues to deny any connection to the drone. 🇩🇪 ↗ · 🇦🇹 ↗ · 🇫🇷 ↗ · 🇭🇷 ↗ · 🇵🇱 ↗ · 🇺🇦 ↗ · 🇱🇹 ↗ · 🇸🇪 ↗ · 🇧🇬 ↗
