KYIV, Ukraine — Russian drones on Wednesday hit a Ukrainian port city along the border with Romania, causing significant damage and a huge fire at facilities that are key to Ukrainian grain exports.
Ukrainian infrastructure minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said that about 40,000 metric tons of grain, which had been expected by countries in Africa, China and Israel, was damaged in the attack. He confirmed that some drones hit their targets, with the most “significant damage” in the south of Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine agreed a year ago on a deal brokered by the United Nations and Turkey that reopened three Ukrainian Black Sea ports blocked by fighting and provided assurances that ships entering the ports would not be attacked. Russia declined to renew the agreement last month, complaining that its own exports were being held up.
