Six people were killed and 25 were injured when a bus rolled over in Türkiye's central province of Aksaray on Friday, the local governor said.

Governor Mehmet Ali Kumbuzoglu told reporters it was unclear what caused the accident on the Aksaray-Ankara motorway. The bus was taking passengers from the western province of Balikesir to the Cappadocia region, a popular tourist destination in central Türkiye.

"The injured were rushed to hospital. An investigation into the accident has been launched," he said.

Ukraine's air defense units destroyed more than 10 Russia drones that were targeting Kyiv in an overnight drone attack, Ukraine's military said on Sunday.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries as result of the attack, Kyiv's military administration posted on the Telegram messaging app. It said that the information on the full scale of the attack will be released later on Sunday.
"The UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) were flying in different directions towards Kyiv," said Serhiy Popko, the head of Kyiv's military administration. "The air raid alert in the city lasted for more than three hours."
Reuters witnesses heard explosions in Kyiv in what sounded like air defense units in operation.
There was no immediate comment from Russia about the attack.
