Ukraine Drone Strikes Damage Grain Terminals at Russia's Novorossiysk Port Amid Conflict
Ukraine conducted drone strikes on Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, damaging multiple grain terminals and infrastructure, and causing at least two deaths, including a child. The attacks targeted key maritime and energy facilities amid ongoing conflict. Following a U.S. request, Ukraine paused strikes on tankers servicing the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which transports Kazakh oil. Both sides have intensified attacks on each other's ports and infrastructure, affecting global wheat exports and regional oil production.
