At least five people killed in attack, a navy spokesperson was quoted as saying by Ukrainska Pravda media outlet.
Several people have been killed in a Russian strike on Ukraine’s port city of Odesa, according to a spokesperson for Ukraine’s navy.
The attack came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was giving a tour of the war-ravaged city to Greece’s prime minister on Wednesday.
Russia said it successfully attacked a hangar housing Ukrainian naval drones in a strike on the port.
“The goal has been achieved. The target has been hit,” the Russian Defence Ministry said in a statement.
Zelenskyy was showing Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis around the destruction in the city where 12 people – including five children – were killed in a drone attack on March 2 at the time of the Russian strike.
