Ukrainian Defense Forces Launch Overnight Operations

According to Novyny.live: On the night of June 13, 2026, Ukraine’s defense forces carried out strikes against military and infrastructure targets belonging to Russian occupation forces, both within Russia’s borders and in temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine. These actions are part of Kyiv’s broader strategy to counter aggression and strengthen national defense capabilities.

A key target in the operation was an oil preparation and pumping facility located near the town of Kotovo in Russia’s Volgograd region. This site plays a critical role in processing and transporting crude oil to Russian refineries, making it a strategic asset for Moscow’s war effort.

• Verkhnya Krinitsa, Zaporizhzhia region;
• Bryansk region of Russia, specifically near Khoromne, Verkhnya Krinitsa, Voskresenka in Donetsk region, and Novomykolaivka in Kherson region.

Ukrainian forces also targeted areas where enemy personnel were concentrated, including:
