Russia unleashed a drone attack on Ukraine targeting the capital Kyiv and hitting infrastructure in the Black Sea port of Odessa, Ukrainian officials said Sunday.

The Ukrainian military shot down 56 out of at least 87 drones launched by Russia over various regions of the country, the air force said.
