Russia resumed targeting grain infrastructure in Ukraine's southern Odesa region, local officials said Wednesday, using drones in overnight attacks on storage facilities and ports along the Danube River that Kiev has increasingly used to transport grain to Europe after Moscow cut an export deal through the Black Sea.

The Associated Press reported that officials say Russia has resumed targeting grain infrastructure in Ukraine's southern Odesa region, using drones in overnight attacks on storage facilities and ports along the Danube River. Kiev has increasingly used these terminals to ship grain to Europe after Moscow cut a key wartime export deal through the Black Sea.

At the same time, a loaded container ship stuck in the port of Odesa since Russia's full invasion more than 17 months ago left and was heading through the Black Sea to the Bosphorus along a temporary corridor created by Ukraine for commercial transport.

Ukraine's war-torn economy is heavily dependent on agriculture. Its agricultural exports, like those of Russia, are also crucial to the world's supplies of wheat, barley, sunflower oil and other foods that developing countries rely on./ CNA
