Drone and missile attacks on Novorossiysk damage key grain terminals, halting Russian Black Sea export operations.
Ukrainian forces launched a drone and missile strike on Russia’s Novorossiysk port, damaging grain export terminals and disrupting operations. The attack targeted the last major Russian naval base on the Black Sea, killing three and injuring 24.
Novorossiysk is a critical hub for Russian grain exports, with the terminals handling significant volumes of agricultural shipments. Prior attacks on Black Sea infrastructure have previously caused temporary disruptions but no lasting supply chain breakdowns.
Markets may monitor potential delays in Russian grain shipments, though no immediate price reaction was reported.
