RUSSIAN troops attacked a vital port in Odessa today, disrupting food and essentials supply lines and Western weapons shipments bound for Kiev.

The Ukrainian military said Russian forces fired seven missiles at the country’s largest port, hitting a shopping centre and warehouse and leading to one death.

Ukraine alleged that at least some of the munitions used dated to the Soviet era, making them unreliable in targeting.
