Drone attacks from Russia struck a vital grain exporting port for Ukraine on the border with Romania.

KYIV, Ukraine On Wednesday, Russian drones attacked a Ukrainian port city on the Romanian border, seriously damaging and setting ablaze crucial grain exporting infrastructure.

The attacks came after an agreement with Russia that had permitted Ukrainian cargoes to be made from the Black Sea port of Odesa to international markets was terminated. Since abandoning the agreement, Russia has repeatedly attacked the nation's ports with strikes, further damaging the crucial sector. The Odesa port and the river ports in the area, which are being used as alternate routes, have been the subject of many drone and missile attacks during the last two weeks.

Izmail, a city on the Danube River that is part of the border between Ukraine and Romania, was struck in the strikes, according to Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president's office.

The Media was provided with a video that was recorded by fishermen in Romania, a NATO member, on the other side of the Danube and showed explosions and a sizable fire in the distance.

There are now three Danube-side Ukrainian ports open for business.

The region's industrial infrastructure and port facilities were the enemy's clear target, according to a Facebook update from Ukraine's South operations command. A grain elevator was damaged as a result of the attack, which also caused fires to start in industrial and port facilities.

Oleksandr Kubrakov, the minister of infrastructure for Ukraine, claimed that the attack damaged around 40,000 metric tons (44,000 tons) of grain that had been expected by nations in Africa, China, and Israel.

According to Serhii Popko, the head of the Kyiv City Administration, all 10 drones that were fired at Kyiv were intercepted. Overnight, while air defense systems were being activated, there were numerous loud explosions reported. According to Popko, debris from downed drones damaged a non-residential building in three different neighborhoods of the capital.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Wednesday morning on Telegram that Russian terrorists had once more targeted ports, grain storage facilities, and world food security. The whole world must react.

In the south of Ukraine, the most "significant damage" was caused by drones, he said, with some of them hitting their objectives.

Following the latest attacks, corn and wheat prices increased by around 2% and 3%, respectively, in Chicago trading on Wednesday before reversing those increases and falling. As Russia targets Ukraine's ports and agricultural infrastructure, it demonstrated the ongoing instability in the global markets.
