Russia's mass attack on May 13

Russia launched a mass drone offensive against Ukraine on the morning of May 13, with drones flying predominantly westward. Explosions were reported in Kyiv, and the Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi, Mykolaiv, Zhytomyr, Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk and other oblasts.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned of additional drone attack waves throughout the day. Ukraine's military intelligence warned that Russia launched a prolonged combined air attack against Ukraine on May 13, with a large-scale drone barrage designed to overwhelm air defenses ahead of a planned missile strike.
