Several civilians have been killed and more than 20 others wounded overnight as Russia and Ukraine continue to attack each other with waves of drones to try to shift momentum in the more than four-year-long war.

Russia launched 863 drones at Ukraine over the last 24 hours, the Ukrainian General Staff said on Sunday.

Russian forces shot down 389 Ukrainian drones during the night, the country’s Ministry of Defence said, including over Tatarstan, other Russian regions, and the occupied Crimean Peninsula.

In Odesa, at least nine people were injured in a Russian night-time attack, according to Serhiy Lysak, who heads the city’s military administration.
