All non-critical infrastructure in Ukraine's southern port city of Odesa was without power after Russia used drones to hit energy facilities, local officials said on Saturday, with much of the surrounding region also affected.

Due to the scale of the damage all users in Odesa except critical infrastructure have been disconnected from electricity," Odesa's mayor, Gennadiy Trukhanov, wrote on Facebook.
