A major Ukrainian drone and missile attack on Russia’s Black Sea port of Novorossiysk damaged 2 major grain export terminals and struck Russia’s key naval base, reports said. Local officials said 3 people, including an 8-year-old child, were killed and 24 injured. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack used rockets, jet and naval drones in a “unique operation”. Ukraine’s military said 4 Russian warships were hit. Russia’s agriculture ministry said it was redirecting cargo to ports in the Baltic and Caspian Seas and overland routes due to logistical constraints. The attack has further disrupted grain shipments through the Black Sea. (PC: BBC)
