Russian drones struck a Ukrainian port on the Danube River, driving global wheat and corn prices higher as Moscow continues its campaign to cripple Kyiv’s ability to export food.
The attack damaged grain storage facilities, a fuel tank and administrative buildings in the Odesa region in southwestern Ukraine, officials said Wednesday. Izmail, one of Ukraine’s biggest river terminals near the border with Romania, was the worst hit, although it continued to operate.
