"Devastating Fires Engulf Odesa Port as Russian Drones Target Ukraine"

Russian drones have targeted the Ukrainian port city of Izmail, causing significant damage and a large fire at facilities crucial to Ukrainian grain exports. This comes after Russia ended a deal that allowed Ukraine to export through the city of Odesa. Dozens of drone and missile attacks have been launched on Ukrainian ports in recent weeks. Ukraine's air force intercepted 23 drones overnight, and President Zelenskyy called on the world to respond to the attacks. The volatility in world markets is evident as wheat and corn prices rose following the new attacks. Turkey's President Erdogan expressed his intention to restore the Black Sea initiative to export Ukrainian grain in a phone call with Russian President Putin. The conflict has also resulted in civilian casualties and shelling in other regions of Ukraine.
