Images to show damage from Odesa shelling

Russian naval forces have shelled residential buildings on the outskirts of the port city, Qazet.az reports.

Ukraine's emergency services have released footage of what they say is some of the damage.

The city has so far not faced the bombardment and fighting that other areas have experienced. But it's a key port, not far from the border with Moldova, and is considered a strategic target if Moscow is attempting to expand its control along the Black Sea coast.
