In Odesa, an apartment ​was destroyed and the roof caught ​fire following strikes on a 16-storey building. In another high-rise, the fire ​engulfed the 12th floor, ​emergency services said.

They posted photos of a ‌high-rise ⁠building ablaze and firefighters working at the site.

Ukraine’s seaports authority said ports in the Greater ​Odesa ​hub and ⁠on the Danube River came under attack.

It said ​the strikes caused damage ​to ⁠the berthing and storage facilities and started local fires, which were ⁠promptly ​brought under control.

The ports ​continue to operate, it added.
