Four out of five Shahed-131/136 one-way attack drones launched by Russia from the Primorsko-Akhtarsky District of Krasnodar Krai were shot down by mobile air defense fire groups over Donetsk and Kharkiv oblasts, Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk reported on Telegram on July 13.

The fifth enemy drone left the Ukrainian airspace and flew toward Gomel Oblast in Belarus.

The air raid alerts were declared in several Ukrainian oblasts overnight in response to the drone attack. Explosions were reported in the administrative center of Kharkiv.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
