"Escalation in Ukraine: Russia Targets Danube River Port"

Russia has escalated its efforts to cripple Ukrainian agriculture by bombarding a port on the Danube River in southern Ukraine with drones, destroying a grain hangar. This attack comes after Russia pulled out of a deal that allowed Ukraine to ship its grain across the Black Sea, indicating that Moscow is now targeting Ukraine's alternative export routes. The drone attack resulted in injuries and could deter commercial vessels from using the port, raising the cost of insurance and impacting global wheat prices. Meanwhile, Russia claimed to have destroyed two attack drones targeting central Moscow, blaming Ukrainian forces. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has intensified, with attacks on both sides and potential repercussions for global food stability.
