On the night of August 13, Russian forces carried out a series of strikes against military facilities, transport infrastructure, and port facilities in several regions of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force said Russia had launched 133 drones, of which 111 were intercepted or electronically suppressed.
The strikes primarily targeted the Danube ports of Reni and Izmail in Odesa Region. At the port of Reni, a Ukrainian Navy command post was struck. In Izmail, targets included a temporary deployment site for a Ukrainian Armed Forces unit, as well as port facilities used to unload and store military cargo.
The strikes on the Danube ports continued a pattern of attacks on Ukraine’s maritime infrastructure. Earlier, Russia had reported strikes on facilities in Odesa and Ochakiv, including fuel storage tanks, equipment used for unloading military cargo, and a Ukrainian patrol boat. Russian authorities said the strikes were intended to restrict the use of the ports for military supplies to Ukraine.
Russian drones also struck targets in other regions of Ukraine. In Zaporizhzhia, a locomotive was hit at the “Zaporizhzhia-1” railway station. In Odesa Region, strikes were reported against a repair-and-recovery train and a Ukrainian Armed Forces locomotive near Rozdilna and Stari Shompoly.
In Pavlohrad, a logistics center was reported hit, and in Dnipropetrovsk, a fire broke out at the “Epicentr” logistics and warehouse complex. Individual reports also indicated attacks in Zhytomyr Region, where Russian forces reportedly used rocket-powered “Banderol” drones.
In parallel, Russian forces are continuing a systematic campaign to destroy the network of filling stations across Ukraine. Russia’s Defense Ministry claims that at least 200 filling stations were destroyed between January and the end of July 2026. The largest number of reported strikes has been recorded in Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions. A filling station in the Kiliia district of Odesa Region was also reportedly hit during the night. Ukrainian authorities, meanwhile, state that there is no nationwide fuel shortage, although they acknowledge disruptions and localized problems in certain areas.
Strikes on Russia
On the night of August 13, Ukrainian forces launched a large-scale drone attack targeting several Russian regions. Russia’s Defense Ministry said air defenses intercepted or destroyed 362 fixed-wing drones over 18 Russian regions and over the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
The most significant reported consequences of the attack were recorded in Bashkortostan. Ukrainian media reported that the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil-refining complex had been targeted, but the claim was not officially confirmed. A strike was also reported on an unfinished Wildberries warehouse facility in the settlement of Chishmy, where firefighters were deployed. The company stated that no goods were stored at the facility and that employees had been evacuated.
The damage to Wildberries facilities was part of a broader series of strikes against warehouse infrastructure across Russia. Satellite imagery and media reports have indicated damage to or the destruction of company facilities in Voronezh, Samara Region, Volgograd, Udmurtia, Penza, Moscow Region, St. Petersburg, and Krasnodar and Stavropol territories.
In Yenakiieve in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the “Galaktika” home-improvement store caught fire following an attack by Ukrainian drones.
Ukrainian leadership has previously stated its intention to expand strikes on Russian infrastructure, including fuel and energy facilities, logistics hubs, defense industry enterprises, and military targets. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also spoke about the need to increase supplies of missile-defense systems, linking their availability to Ukraine’s ability to survive the winter and counter Russian ballistic missiles.
