MOSCOW, July 24 (Reuters) – Russia hit a Ukrainian military vessel in the port of Odessa using high-precision missiles, Russian Foreign Minister spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.
“Kalibr missiles destroyed the military infrastructure of the port of Odessa, sending a Ukrainian military boat to the preferred address of the Kyiv regime in a precision strike,” Maria Zakharova said in a message on Telegram.
The Ukrainian army accused Russia of bombing the port of Odessa on Saturday, the day after the signing of an agreement between Russia and Ukraine to allow the reopening of Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea for the resumption of cereal exports. (Reuters editorial staff, French version Bertrand Boucey)
