Turkey's defense minister said on Saturday that Russian officials had told Ankara that Moscow had "nothing to do" with strikes on Ukraine's Odesa port.
"In our contact with Russia, the Russians told us that they had absolutely nothing to do with this attack and that they were examining the issue very closely and in detail," Defence Minister Hulusai Akar said in a statement.
"The fact that such an incident took place right after the agreement we made yesterday really worried us," he added.
Two Russian missiles hit the port of Odesa on Saturday but caused no significant damage, the public broadcaster, Suspilne, said, quoting the Ukrainian military.
A pumping station was hit and a strike caused a small fire that damaged houses around the port, the spokesperson for Ukraine's southern military command, Natalia Humeniuk, was quoted as saying.

The 'ghost of kiev' took a wrong turn?
Russia has a habit of lying so the benefit of the doubt goes to Ukraine.
Remember “We have no intention of invading”?
Russia also has a habit of breaking agreements for humanitarian corridors.

No word from Boris Bedenov yet.
Russian missiles fired by whom? turkey?
Well the 2 of the 4 missiles that hit were Kalibre missiles, a missile the ZSU does not have, leaving the only the country that manufactures them ...
A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party.
Just saying.
Yes, Ukraine is a bastion of freedom, a lack of corruption, and devoid of propaganda...
Yeah I didn’t think it was Russia. The US still wants to blame him for the upcoming famine in Africa, so we had one of our guys or the Ukies do it.
false flag
I’ve expected false flag ops
I couldn’t see any incoming missile in that video, sure looks suspicious.
They are both liars.
No but they are better than Russia.
Russia has created over 7 million homeless refugees. Are you saying they were all corrupt and deserved what Russia did to them?
Maybe but only one unjustly invaded the other and caused 7 million refugees.
Russia bullshits a minimum of 2/3 of the time, every time something like this happens.
Step 1: “No attack took place at all.”
Step 2: “An attack happened, but we didn’t do it.”
Step 3: “Okay, we did it, but it was a legitimate target.”
Step 4: “Yes there were civilian casualties, but the enemy fired at themselves.”
What baffles me is how anyone with two braincells or more can still fall for it.
Whether it’s Chernobyl, or Kursk, or Flight MH17, or Mariupol Hospital, or Odessa, the pattern is consistently 2/3 bullshit or 3/4 bullshit.
You could even print off a bullshit bingo card and see how long it takes to get the full house, every time Russia does it. They’re LUDICROUSLY predictable.
Not that I trust Putin (because I don't), but perhaps it was the same people setting fires to our food processing plants here in the US.
Ya know, the pro famine Great Resetters, out doing some great resetting, trying to stop the wheat deal.
“Russia has a habit of lying so the benefit of the doubt goes to Ukraine.”
When I think straight up honesty, I think “Ukraine”” and “Globohomo”.
I’m saying I don’t give a shit about either country.
What would $60 billion do for our homeless, mentally ill, and drug addicted Veterans?
