"Another Russian ballistics attack on Odesa," the city's mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov said on Telegram.
"A total of 13 people were injured," he said, adding that rescuers were fighting a large-scale fire without providing details.
Oleg Kiper, governor of the Odesa region, said on Telegram early Thursday that a "Russian missile attack on Odessa" had injured 14 people.
"Civilian infrastructure, including postal warehouses, was damaged," he added.
Odesa, a Black Sea port vital for Ukrainian exports, has been regularly targeted by deadly missile and drone attacks.
Local authorities said Wednesday at least three people had died in a Russian missile attack on the city.
Five people were killed on Monday in another Moscow-led attack, authorities said.
Russia has relentlessly hit Ukrainian cities for months and is making a push on the front in eastern Ukraine ahead of the arrival of crucial US weapons.
