Russia attacks Ukrainian port Izmail
Russian forces shelled the Ukrainian port of Izmail near the Romania border, causing damage and fires in the area. This port is one of Ukraine's largest on the Danube River and is used for shipping grains and goods. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces launched a major attack on the Russian city of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea, hitting warships and carrying out operations against a naval base. The assaults resulted in the deaths of at least two people and temporarily halted operations at some of Russia's main grain-exporting ports. These attacks have raised fears of disruptions to global grain supplies, especially since Russia is the world's largest wheat exporter, leading to a roughly 3% increase in wheat prices. Russia and Ukraine are exchanging strikes on critical infrastructure amid Kyiv's efforts to find alternative routes for grain export, while experts warn that ongoing conflicts could lead to famines in Africa and the Middle East.
