"Russian Air Forces Chief Fired and Grain Infrastructure Hit in Ukraine War, Moscow Drone Attack"

Russian General Sergei Surovikin has been fired from his position as commander-in-chief of the aerospace forces, following his association with the Wagner rebellion. Russian drones have targeted grain infrastructure in the Odesa region, damaging production and transhipment complexes. This attack is part of a series of strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure for exporting crops, leading to higher food prices. Russian air defenses shot down three Ukrainian drones in Moscow and its surrounding region, causing surface damage to buildings. This marks the sixth consecutive strike on the Russian capital. In eastern Ukraine, three civilians were killed and two injured in Russian bombardments near Lyman. Russia is accused of deliberately targeting civilians to break their will and force acceptance of Russian control.

"Russia's Aggressive Attacks on Ukraine's Grain Infrastructure Raise Hunger Concerns"

Russia has continued its attacks on Ukraine's grain infrastructure for the fourth consecutive night, targeting port facilities and granaries in the Odesa region. The attacks have resulted in injuries, destruction of agricultural equipment, and the loss of significant amounts of grain. Over a million tons of grain stored in Ukrainian ports are at risk, raising concerns about global food prices, particularly in food-insecure nations. The United Nations Secretary-General has warned that the attacks are destabilizing global wheat prices. Russia withdrew from a U.N.-brokered grain deal and has demanded certain conditions be met before returning to the agreement.
