Two women were hospitalized following a Russian drone attack on Vinnytsia during the night of November 13, which damaged residential buildings and a kindergarten.
The strike was part of a coordinated overnight campaign across Ukraine that targeted energy infrastructure and civilian areas in ten different regions.
The strike, which occurred as part of a broader overnight offensive across Ukraine, caused a fire in a residential building. Vinnytsia Mayor Serhiy Morhunov confirmed that emergency services operated on-site throughout the night to manage the aftermath of the fire and structural damage.

The victims, aged 22 and 54, sustained light injuries, according to Natalia Zabolotna, head of the Vinnytsia Regional Military Administration. Zabolotna had alerted the public to the danger as early as 01:38, prior to the escalation of the aerial threat. Beyond the residential damage, the regional energy infrastructure also sustained hits, with repair crews from Vinnytsiaoblenergo working to restore power to affected districts.
The overnight assault on November 13 extended far beyond Vinnytsia. Serhiy Koretskyi said that Russian forces targeted five major energy substations across the country, affecting regions including Vinnytsia, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kirovohrad. In Kropyvnytskyi, an attack on a commercial network resulted in two injuries, according to regional governor Andriy Raykovych.
Simultaneously, in Rivne, a drone strike hit a residential high-rise, leaving six people injured, including two children. The town of Zdolbuniv in the Rivne region also faced attacks that ignited vehicles and a garage.
The region has faced repeated targeting of its energy and civil infrastructure throughout November. On November 10, a strike on a civil enterprise in the Vinnytsia region resulted in two deaths, prompting local authorities in Ladyzhyn to declare three days of mourning. Secretary of the Ladyzhyn City Council Oleksandr Kolomiiets confirmed that emergency services were working to mitigate the consequences of that strike.
