Russia Launches 200+ Drones Across 14 Regions — 5 Killed Including 3 in Rivne, 2 in Kryvyi Rih

Russia launched one of the largest drone campaigns of the post-ceasefire period on May 13, 2026, sending over 200 Shahed-type drones at Ukraine in multiple waves targeting 14 regions simultaneously. The overnight wave alone included 139 drones, of which Ukraine's air defenses neutralized 111 via interception and electronic jamming. In Rivne Oblast, a drone struck a residential building — killing 3 people and injuring 4 others. In Kryvyi Rih, 2 people were killed and 4 wounded in a direct drone strike. In Odesa, drone debris fell near a 9-story residential building, igniting a fire that burned several parked cars. Power was cut to six regions near the front lines. Ukrainian military intelligence warned of a possible follow-up wave of cruise and ballistic missiles. A second daytime wave of 168 Shahed drones was tracked by Ukraine's 'Monitor' service starting at 11:27 local time, with additional waves following throughout the afternoon. The scale of the attack came just 30+ hours after Russia's similar 216-drone campaign on May 12, confirming Moscow's intent to sustain maximum aerial pressure after the collapsed Trump-brokered ceasefire.
