ODESA, Ukraine, April 6 (Reuters) - Russia launched a drone attack on Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa overnight on Monday, killing a 30-year-old mother and her two-year-old daughter, and one more woman, damaging residential buildings and energy infrastructure, the regional governor said.
"Overnight, Odesa came under another heavy attack by the enemy," Oleh Kiper, Odesa regional governor, said on the Telegram app, adding that 16 people, including a pregnant woman and two small children, were injured.
