Russia hits Ukraine’s key grain port for third time this month, as harvest peaks

Five trucks loaded with grain were destroyed, and three more were damaged in the Izmail district, local officials said. The attack marks the third strike on Ukraine’s largest Danube River port this month, coming at the height of the country’s wheat harvest season. The port, a vital alternative route for Ukrainian grain exports, has become a repeated target as Russia seeks to disrupt shipments. Officials did not immediately report casualties, but the damage adds to growing pressure on Ukraine’s agricultural export capacity.
