The Russian defense ministry says it hit an oil refinery and three fuel and lubricant storage facilities in Odesa.
Moscow says the site is used to supply Ukrainian troops.
Photos from Odesa show huge columns of thick, black smoke over an industrial area.
“This morning, high-precision sea and air-based missiles destroyed an oil refinery and three storage facilities for fuel and lubricants near the city of Odessa, from which fuel was supplied to a group of Ukrainian troops in the direction of Mykolaiv,” the Russian defense ministry says,
Ukraine says there are no casualties in the attack.
