A Russian drone strike has hit Ukrainian port facilities at Izmail on the River Danube, a short distance from Nato member state Romania.
A grain warehouse, a passenger building, and an elevator for loading grain have all been damaged.
Russia began targeting Ukraine’s ports after abandoning a UN deal that enabled both countries to export grain safely across the Black Sea.
A large fire raged from the port area of Izmail early on Wednesday.
The video, filmed from the Romanian side of the Danube roughly 3km (1.9 miles) away, showed the extent of the fire.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis condemned Russia’s continued attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure “in the proximity of Romania” as unacceptable.
Ukraine’s air force said during the night that Russian drones were heading for the Danube River, where Ukraine has two ports, Izmail and Reni.
Ukraine’s military command in the south said air defenses had been operating for almost three hours.
Odesa regional leader Oleh Kiper said emergency services were working on the site of the latest Russian attack, and there were no reports of any casualties.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said that “unfortunately there has been damage” – and the regional chief posted several images on social media indicating that several structures had been hit.
