Ukraine drone attack halts Russian grain exports
Three major grain terminals in Russia’s Black Sea port of Novorossiysk halted operations after an overnight Ukrainian drone attack damaged key infrastructure. The disruptions affected United Grain Co.’s Novorossiysk Grain Plant, Demetra’s terminal and the KSK terminal.
People familiar with the matter said grain shipments from the port were impossible because the damage to terminal infrastructure was serious. At United Grain Co.’s facility, a loading gallery collapsed and several silos were damaged, while Demetra’s terminal sustained damage to a gallery and truck unloading area.
