Oct 6 (Reuters) - Russia unleashed an overnight drone attack across Ukraine targeting the capital Kyiv and hitting infrastructure in the Black Sea port of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday.

The Ukrainian air force said it had shot down 78 out of 105 Russian drones during the assault, but the aerial attacks still damaged power lines and substations’ equipment in the Kyiv, Odesa and Ivano-Frankivsk regions in the past day.
