Russia Says 36 Ukrainian Drones Downed as Volgograd Homes Hit and Air-Raid Alerts Spread Across Ukraine

Overnight reports point to an intensifying cross-border strike cycle with competing claims over battlefield effects.

Overview

  • Kyiv Oblast authorities earlier reported a large-scale missile and drone attack on the night of 13–14 November that injured six people, including a child, and damaged civilian infrastructure across five districts.
  • The Russian Defense Ministry said air defenses destroyed 36 Ukrainian UAVs between 19:00 and 23:00, citing interceptions over Rostov, Belgorod, Voronezh, Crimea and Saratov regions.
  • Volgograd’s governor reported UAV strikes on residential buildings that injured three people and sparked a high‑rise fire, which emergency services later extinguished as sappers prepared clearance work.
  • Regional officials in Rostov and Voronezh reported multiple drones intercepted with no casualties and limited damage, while Belgorod recorded one civilian injured in a separate drone attack on a car.
  • On the ground, Russia claims encirclement pressure and strikes around Dimitrov and Kupyansk, and released FPV‑drone footage, as Ukraine’s SBU asserts S‑400 launchers and radars were hit near Novorossiysk, a claim not confirmed by Moscow.
