## Key Points

- On the morning of November 13, 2026, drones attacked Odesa; according to the Odesa RMA, one person was killed and others were injured.
- A private residential house and cars were damaged; emergency services are working at the scene, consequences are being clarified.
- Nighttime strikes also hit Vinnytsia (private houses) and Rivne (high-rise building).
- Air defense shot down most targets, but over 20 drones fell onto the territory.

On the morning of November 13, 2026, unmanned aerial vehicles attacked Odesa. According to official data, one person was killed and several others were injured as a result of the strike. This was announced by the Head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, Oleh Lysak, as reported by RBC-Ukraine.

### Attack Progress and First Statements

According to Lysak, a private residential building and several cars were damaged in the city. "A private residential building was damaged. Information regarding other consequences is being clarified," stated the head of the RMA. He added that relevant services are working at the scene and the aftermath of the attack is being cleared. The exact list of affected objects and the nature of the damage were being clarified at the time of publication.

### Victims and Injured

Later, Lysak reported that one person was killed as a result of the attack. According to him, this occurred in another district of the city. There are also injured individuals; the official did not specify their exact number. The circumstances of the person's death and the condition of the injured were being verified while preparing the material.

### Beyond Odesa: Night Strikes on Vinnytsia and Rivne

The attack on Odesa was part of a night wave of strikes. According to the publication, the enemy also attacked Vinnytsia and Rivne that night. In Vinnytsia, private houses were damaged, and in Rivne, reports indicated that a high-rise residential building was hit. Thus, the consequences of the drone attacks were recorded in multiple regions at once.

### Air Defense Operations and Scale of the Attack

According to available information, air defense forces shot down the majority of enemy targets that night. At the same time, more than 20 targets were not intercepted and fell onto the territory—so-called "impacts." This indicates that a significant portion of the attacking drones reached their targets despite the air defense operations.

### Context: Series of Massive Attacks in November

The strikes on November 13 continue a series of massive drone attacks recorded by Ukrainian media in early and mid-November 2026. For instance, on the night of November 8, drones attacked several regions at once—from Odesa and Kharkiv to Volyn and the Vinnytsia region, damaging residential buildings, cars, and infrastructure objects; earlier in Odesa, a food warehouse, a logistics terminal, and a market were affected. Against this background, the night attack on November 13 against Odesa, Vinnytsia, and Rivne looks like a continuation of a persistent tactic of strikes against rear cities.
