Russia launched a missile attack against Odesa Oblast on April 19, injuring a civilian and damaging port infrastructure, Governor Oleh Kiper reported.
President Volodymyr Zelensky added later that two food export terminals were damaged, including one owned by a Singaporean company.
The victim was hospitalized with a shrapnel wound, the governor said.
Zelensky said the strike hit the Pivdennyi Port, destroying agricultural products destined for Asia and Africa.
"Dear partners in the Global South, this is Russia's true attitude towards you, your food security, and well-being. Russia is willing to harm people in your countries in order to achieve its insane goal of destroying our country at any cost," Zelensky wrote on X.
"This is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a deliberate Russian strategy to cause maximum damage to Ukraine and the countries that rely on Ukrainian agricultural goods," he added.
Ukraine's southern regions, namely Odesa Oblast, are frequent targets of Russian attacks. A missile attack on April 10 killed at least six people, regional officials reported at the time.
A Russian missile strike on Odesa on March 29 injured at least five people, including three children, according to local officials.
