Russia says Ukrainian military boat destroyed in missile attack

MOSCOW, July 24 (KUNA) -- Russia on Sunday said its forces had destroyed a Ukrainian military boat in the Black Sea port of Odesa, in an attack using a range of cruise missiles.
Russian naval forces targeted military infrastructure in Odesa port, while a separate attack on a gathering of Ukrainian soldiers in the city of Mykolaiv left more than 50 of them dead, according to defense ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov. Russia and Ukraine had signed a landmark deal on Friday to unblock grain exports from Black Sea ports as part of efforts to ease a global food crisis. (end) as.nam
