Ukraine’s Odesa port sustains damage from Russian attack, Zelenskiy says

KYIV, Aug 9 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s Odesa seaport sustained damage ​from an overnight ‌Russian attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday, adding that ‌eight ​people ⁠had been wounded ⁠in the city.

“In this way, the Russians are at war ​with the world’s food security,” ⁠he ⁠said. Odesa’s seaports ​are the main artery ​for Ukraine’s vast agricultural ‌exports.

Ukraine’s energy ministry said Russia had attacked power ⁠facilities in the Odesa region, causing a “significant amount” ⁠of ‌the port city’s ⁠residents to ​lose ‌electricity overnight.

It said ​power had ⁠already been restored to 90,000 consumers.
