A large fire broke out in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odesa late on Wednesday after a Russian missile strike, local media reported.

Pictures and video posted on media telegram channels showed flames at the site of the strike and large clouds of smoke billowing skywards. One media channel said the warehouse of Nova Poshta, a large postal and courier company, had been hit.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. Odesa is a frequent target of Russian attacks and missiles have hit sites in the city over the past two days.
