TL;DR Summary

Russian drones targeted grain facilities at the Danube River port of Izmail in Ukraine, reducing the port's export capacity by 15% and destroying 13,000 metric tons of grain. This is part of a systematic effort by Russia to prevent Ukraine from exporting grain to the world. The attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure have intensified since Russia withdrew from a U.N.-brokered grain export deal last month. The Danube River has become Ukraine's main route for grain exports, and the attacks have resulted in a total of 270,000 tons of grain being destroyed. Ukrainian air defenses shot down 11 out of 20 Russian drones launched during the attacks.
