Saturday's attack on targets in the port of Odessa comes a day after Russia and Ukraine separately signed in the Turkish city of Istanbul two agreements with Turkey and the United Nations to guarantee grain exports in Ukrainian Black Sea ports, including the port of Odessa.
Under the terms of the pact, Moscow promised not to launch attacks on the ports while grain shipments are in transit.
Rejecting accusations raised that Moscow has violated this agreement with such an attack, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova assured on Telegram on Sunday that Russian Kalibr missiles destroyed only military infrastructure in the port of Odessa.
