Italian newspapers on September 13 continued to prioritize the fallout from Charlie Kirk's murder, with early reports detailing the killer's confession and the symbolic anti-fascist messages on the bullets. Concurrently, NATO's "Eastern Sentry" operation, aimed at strengthening its eastern flank, garnered significant attention. In the late morning and early afternoon, Prime Minister Meloni prominently addressed the Kirk murder, stating that political hatred and violence were returning and accusing those who celebrated Kirk's death of hypocrisy. This sparked a political clash with Elly Schlein, who accused Meloni of irresponsibly inflaming the political climate. The day also saw increased reports of Donald Trump's calls for NATO countries to cease Russian oil purchases and impose tariffs on China, alongside escalating reports of Russian drone activity in Polish and Romanian airspace, with Polish jets scrambling.
