KYIV, July 16 (Reuters) - Russia attacked cities across Ukraine overnight with hundreds of drones and a missile strike, hitting energy infrastructure and wounding at least 15 people.
Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 400 drones and one ballistic missile, primarily targeting Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih and Vinnytsia -- three cities in different parts of Ukraine.
Earlier, Ukrainian officials reported two people killed in a drone strike on the frontline city of Kupiansk.

The large-scale long-range attacks targeted energy infrastructure, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on Telegram.
