Russia again attacked the Odesa region, in southern Ukraine, with drones on Tuesday night, hitting production infrastructure and transporting goods for export and causing damage to granaries.
“Unfortunately, there was damage to the production and transportation infrastructure, where a fire broke out in an area of 700 square meters,” wrote the head of the military administration of the Odessa region, Oleg Kiper, in his account on the Platform of Telegram messaging.
The fire was extinguished, said Kiper, who spoke of “damage to the barns” located at the scene of the attack. According to the head of the military administration of the Odessa region, Ukrainian air defenses shot down nine ‘drones’ launched by Russia during the attack.
According to several Ukrainian Telegram channels, the attack took place in the Danube port of Ismail, in the far south-west of Ukraine and very close to the border with NATO member Romania.
Since the end in mid-July of the so-called grain agreement, in which Moscow committed for a year to allow the export of agricultural products from three Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea, Russia has repeatedly bombarded port infrastructure and agricultural facilities.
Since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine has increased agricultural exports across the Danube in the face of Russia’s military blockade of the Black Sea.
