Russian forces launched 216 Shahed, Gerbera, and Italmaz drones at Ukraine on the night of May 12, following the end of the three-day May 9 ceasefire, the Air Force reported.
The UAVs were launched from Bryansk, Kursk, Orel, Shatalovo, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk, temporarily occupied Donetsk, and Gvardiyske in temporarily occupied Crimea.
As of 09:30 am, air defenses shot down or neutralized 192 Russian UAVs in the north, south, east, and central oblasts.
25 UAVs made impact at 10 locations, with debris falling in five locations, Air Force reported.
On the night of May 12, Russia launched drone strikes across Ukraine. An air-raid alert was announced in Kyiv and several other oblasts. Explosions were heard in the capital, as air defenses intercepted the attack. Debris from the downed drones struck a high-rise building.
That same morning, Russian forces attacked railway infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Locomotives and other rolling stock were damaged in the attack, injuring a train driver, Deputy PM Oleksii Kuleba reported.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
