A Russian missile struck a residential district in Ukraine's Black Sea port of Odesa late on Friday, triggering a fire, but causing no casualties, officials said.

An official city Telegram channel said a three-storey building had sustained damage along with 10 private homes. Emergency services were at the site.

There was no independent verification of the report.

Odesa and port facilities in the region have come under increased Russian attack in recent weeks.
