Russia damaged almost 40,000 tons of grain in an overnight strike on southern Ukrainian warehouses near the Danube, Kyiv’s infrastructure minister says.

“The Russians attacked warehouses and grain elevators — almost 40,000 tonnes of grain were damaged,” Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said in an English-language post on social media, adding that the grain was destined for Africa, China and Israel.
