"Russia's Retaliatory Strikes: Ukraine's Grain and Port Under Fire"

Russia has launched missile strikes on Ukraine's Black Sea coast, destroying 60,000 tonnes of grain and causing damage to storage infrastructure. This comes after Russia pulled out of an international grain deal, citing unmet demands for Russian exports. The strikes targeted grain terminals and port infrastructure in Odesa and Chornomorsk, two of the three ports included in the export deal. Ukrainian officials condemned the attacks, while France and Germany also expressed their disapproval. The coordinated attack involved various missiles and drones, with some penetrating Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Crimea experienced disruptions as explosions at an ammunition depot led to the evacuation of nearby villages.
