The ship experienced a sudden loss of maneuverability, resulting in 11 hospitalizations and 6 less serious injuries. The exact cause of the steering issue is unclear, but the ship was able to continue its journey after the electronics were reset.

"Russian Aggression Targets Ukraine's Grain Stores at Danube Ports"

Russian drones have attacked grain storage facilities in Ukrainian ports along the River Danube, including the Black Sea port city of Odesa. The attacks have destroyed infrastructure crucial for Ukraine's grain exports, causing a rise in global grain prices. The destruction comes after Russia pulled out of a grain deal with Ukraine, resuming its targeting of port locations. The attacks have also caused concern in neighboring Romania, as the drones came close to its territory. Ukraine, a major wheat exporter, is now facing challenges in maintaining its grain exports.
