Ukraine’s coastal region of Odesa was rattled by Russian drones which hit grain storage facilities in the south of the region, according to authorities in Kyiv.
The grain port of Izmail, an inland port across the Danube River from NATO-member Romania, was the main target of Moscow’s drone attack.
About 40,000 tonnes of grain destined for African nations, China and Israel were damaged, officials said,
“As a result of the attack, fires broke out at the facilities of the port and industrial infrastructure of the region, and an elevator was damaged,” Odesa region Governor Oleh Kiper said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of waging an attack on “global food security”.
Al Jazeera’s Sinem Koseoglu reports from Istanbul, where Ukrainian grain shipments have been arriving.
