Russia resumed its targeting of grain infrastructure in Ukraine's southern Odessa region, local officials said Wednesday, using drones in overnight strikes on storage facilities and ports along the Danube River that Kyiv has increasingly used for grain transport to Europe.
Russia resumed its targeting of grain infrastructure in Ukraine's southern Odessa region, local officials said Wednesday, using drones in overnight strikes on storage facilities and ports along the Danube River that Kyiv has increasingly used for grain transport to Europe after Moscow broke off a key wartime export deal through the Black Sea.
Odessa Gov. Oleh Kiper said the primary targets of Russia's overnight drone bombardment were port terminals and grain silos, including at the ports in the Danube delta. Air defences managed to intercept 13 drones, according to Kiper. The Hong Kong-flagged Joseph Schulte was travelling down a temporary corridor that Ukraine asked the International Maritime Organization to ratify. The United States has warned that the Russian military is preparing for possible attacks on civilian shipping vessels in the Black Sea.
Ship-tracking data analyzed by The Associated Press confirmed that the Joseph Schulte was steaming south. On the war's front line, Ukrainian officials claimed another milestone in Kyiv's grinding counteroffensive, with Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar saying troops have retaken a village in the eastern Donetsk region.
