"Russian Attack Targets Ukrainian Grain Facilities at Danube River Port"
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.
