Russian military has attacked a large sunflower oil warehouse in the Odessa region as part of intensive attacks on targets on the Black Sea coast.

Russia is once again trying to prevent Ukraine from having access to the sea and wants to block our coastal regions, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj in a comment on the Russian attacks.

Russia has targeted the Black Sea region around the port city of Odessa and the strategic and economic areas along the coast. The targets of Russian attacks in recent weeks have been bridges, port areas and energy facilities.

Saturday's attack follows a Russian attack late Friday in which at least seven people were killed.

One person was killed and two others were injured in the early morning raid.

The sunflower oil facility is Ukraine's largest vegetable oil warehouse, according to the company's marketing director, Conrelis Vrins.
