Russia is executing its largest-scale air attack since the full-scale invasion began, employing a coordinated multi-phase strategy that uses Shahed drones to overwhelm Ukraine's air defense systems before launching cruise missiles and additional drone waves, targeting critical infrastructure across multiple regions including Dnipro, Rivne, Lutsk, Kovel, Ivano-Frankivsk, Odessa, Kyiv, and Lviv, with officials warning the attack will continue until tomorrow afternoon.

BREAKING: Ukraine Confirms Russia’s Largest Air Attack Is Just Getting StartedAdded:
Greetings everyone and welcome May the 13, 2026. This is a breaking news update. We are approaching 6 p.m. Keev time. And I quote, according to the general staff of Ukraine, this is the largest scale air attack against Ukraine since the beginning of the fullscale invasion. Shahed everywhere. And we're just at the beginning of the attack because Flash, Yuri Knot, others that are responsible for that type of u intelligence and information coming from Ukraine has given an update within the last 30 minutes. I've got it all for you. I want you to be updated. I will continue with this because this is a large strike. In addition, um we've had drones go off course near Poland. They've scrambled fighter jets. We've had Russian drones flying all over uh Muldova about 150 kilometers specifically over the city of Belie. This is a big big strike and we're going to keep you updated. Thank you for being here. Thank you for sharing, liking, commenting, and subscribing. Unfortunately, today many Ukrainians have lost their lives as they have went about their daily business on this day and it is just continuing. Let me give you a clip before we get started. This actually was in Lut um just a little while ago. This is this is what's happening, folks. Um no audio.
The drones are just everywhere. They're absolutely everywhere. Now, let's get into some technical information and update you on the facts. We'll start here. This is pretty much a current air raid. I will give you another one in just a moment. Two pieces of information here that we need to share. The Gur is reporting the intelligence service of Ukraine that Russia will continue to strike critical targets and they are launching what is called a prolonged massive attack in the first wave which we are really still in the continuation of the first wave right now. The enemy is using many UAVs to exhaust the air defense systems. After that, we are expecting the launch of cruise missiles, sea and airbased launchers, ground launchers and targets are critical infrastructure of larger cities. We've already had some electrical substations hit. But in listen, in addition to that, folks, they're also just hitting anything with these shaheds.
Unfortunately, a 9-month-old infant in Creo was wounded. Um, two members of the family were killed last night and the initial report was the infant would lose a leg, but I can give you good news on that. At least surgeons were able to save the 9-mon-old baby's leg. This is what we're facing for the next 24 hours at least. Um, critical infrastructure of large cities, energy sector, defense industry, and government buildings. Now, Flash, remember Flash was targeted at his home with five Shahed? He was in the hospital. Well, he's out doing his work.
Um, he stated just moments ago, and I have the video for you translated, "Today's attack by the Russians will continue until tomorrow afternoon. There will be a missile launch at night, followed by another wave of drones."
This is adviser to the Minister of Defense, Flash. You see, he has his finger on the pulse of how these attacks come in. Of course, this is why Russia was trying to eliminate him. But let's listen to Flash right now. This on the evening news there in Ukraine and just just moments ago.
>> How long can the Russians hold such an intense pace of air strikes?
>> Well, I believe it could be tomorrow until noon. Therefore, tonight we will see missile launches. Then there will be another potential wave of attacks. We understand that they have accumulated enough shaheds to attack us all today and tomorrow.
And it really can uh be very difficult. So official structures I appeal to people to wait, look for shelter, try to minimize their risk from shahits. All right. So there you have it. That's the direct statement from Flash. Now Flash also gave further analysis here. He stated that Ukraine is witnessing Russia use a different type attack this time.
Sergey Flash Basnoff said, "We are confirming that the Russians are using a new tactic. strike UAVs can now move one after another along the border with Bellarus at a distance of 5 to 10 kilometers. In this way, the enem is trying to overwhelm the air defense system. So, they're bringing these Shahedes in along the border and then they drop them down. Of course, Shahedes are also coming up from the south.
They're just everywhere, ladies and gentlemen. Now, I will tell you, Ukraine last night sent out a massive strike. Um over 250 uh attack drones were launched last night hitting multiple targets in Russia. The bottom line is the truce is over and we're seeing over these days some escalatory attacks especially with the use of drones. We will see tonight what unfolds once they start launching missiles and then another wave of attack drones. Now let me take you here. This is the current air raid alarm in Ukraine. And you can see you you may ask, well, why is it red over here in the west, Cheriv, and in the east, but the center is not red right now. That's because there are no missiles in the air. So every uh especially hypersonic, so it doesn't light up the entire nation for air alarm. These are all Shahed attacks. So they've already moved through. They've moved through and Cherig here comes new ones in. So that's why this is not red, but it will go red.
Now in addition to that, what has happened so far? Let me give you the facts on that. So, we've got Flash saying they're sending attack drones along the border like this with Bellarus and then they launch them straight down different attack lines overwhelming our air defense. Now, I can tell you that over here in Nepro, look to your right, we've already had eight killed, 11 wounded. This was the first place where massive strikes started happening.
In addition to that, Heron continuing to be, I'm not even getting to the big Shahed attacks now, lots of MLRS attacks, um, FPV attacks in Heron. In addition, down here in Nicipole, we're talking about, uh, evacuations that have been suggested. I don't think they're mandatory yet, but I can check on that for Nicipole. All of this right down there along the front line regions. But what do we have um up here in Rivena?
We've got three dead and four wounded.
Lutz, we have um the SBU building in Lut has been hit.
Uh Kovville, a strike in the railway station, buses, many buses, cars. The Zakarpatia region completely is under attack. I mean, even the the the ski resorts, Bavl is under attack.
Malnitzki, beautifulki, my city. I love three wounded. Um, Ivana Francis, we've got attacks in Ivana Francis and that was on um residential buildings and on electrical substations. Jatmer region, there have been attacks in Jtoma region. Um, Vinita, we come down here.
You're noticing guys, it's massive. Um, Odessa under constant attack. Kev has been under attack. I saw I talked Cherkasi is also under attack. A key city centrally located for the war. And then of course Lviv as well, guys. It's just continuing and it will continue. So we see the first wave shahed. This is the damage shaheds are doing. We will, according to Flash, see a missile strike. The planes are loaded.
Yuri not confirmed that.
Flash has confirmed that they have the intelligence about it. And then there'll be another wave of Shahed. This all on the heels of new rhetoric coming out of Moscow about Putin wanting to adjust his demands. It's out there, guys. I'll report on it later.
uh definitely wanting Odessa and um Keev. Now, of course, it's just the rhetoric, but this is what happens when the war continues and continues and continues. Thank you for being here.
Keep Ukrainians in your heart today.
It's hell in Ukraine, but they fight.
And as Flash said to my Ukrainian friends that watch this, listen to the air alarms. Going to be another tough 24 hours. You guys be blessed.
