Russia has attacked the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, with residents reporting hearing explosions.

Pictures from the city show damage to buildings, while it is also thought that the port was targeted by drone strikes and shelling.

The city is at the centre of the latest centre of the war, with a UN-brokered deal allowing Ukraine to export grain set to expire. Russia has not agreed to extend the deal, which allows Ukraine to be exported across the globe.

Before the deal was struck in 2022, Russian warships blockaded routes across the Black Sea, sparking fears of global food shortages.
