(Bloomberg) — Russia used a wider variety of missiles to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses as it intensifies attacks on the country’s grain infrastructure in the Odesa region, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said, causing more significant damage than previous salvos.
Russia used Iranian-made Shahed drones to attack Danube River port infrastructure, ruining a grain storage and damaging reservoirs for other cargo storage during the night, the military said. Seven people were injured in the overnight attack, Odesa’s regional governor said on Telegram.
Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said on Monday that his country will continue to support Ukraine to “identify the best practical solutions to further facilitate the grain exports to global markets.”
