MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sunday that Russian forces had hit a Ukrainian military boat in the port of Odessa in Ukraine with high-precision missiles.

“Kalibr missiles destroyed Odessa port’s military infrastructure, sending a Ukrainian military boat to the Kiev regime’s favorite address in a precision strike,” Zakharova posted online.

Zakharova’s comment came after Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of striking Odessa port a day after grain deal struck with the United Nations, Turkey and Ukraine.
