Air defense downed 18 Iranian-made Shahed drones, one Lancet drone, two Orlan-10, four unspecified drones, and three cruise missiles, Ukraine's Air Force reported.

Some cruise missiles, however, managed to pass through, hitting civilian infrastructure in Ternopil at 5 a.m. local time, Ternopil Oblast Governor Volodymyr Trush reported.

Late on May 13, in Ternopil, warehouses belonging to commercial enterprises and a religious organization caught fire due to Russia's attack.

Two civilians were injured, according to the governor.
