During the night of 13–14 May 2026, Russia conducted what was described as it's "largest aerial attack" since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1] 1,567 drones and 56 missiles targeted several Ukrainian cities, according to a statement made by Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, with a large number targeting the Darnytskyi District of Kyiv specifically.[1][2][3] In total, 27 civilians were reported dead[1] with 24 of whom being from Kyiv,[2] with an additional 75 injured between Kyiv and Kharkiv.[4]

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine declared the following day, 15 May, a day of mourning.[2] In response to the strikes, Ukraine in turn launched what was described by Tass as the largest drone attack on the Moscow region in more than a year on 17 May.[5]
