Two people were injured in a Russian drone strike on shipping infrastructure near Ukraine's Black Sea Port of Odessa, reports United Press International.
Russia launched 25 drones and 22 were taken down by Ukraine's air defenses, the country's Air Force reported.
Russia's targeted attacks of grain infrastructure have intensified since the dissolution of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Last month, Russian drone strikes targeted another main grain port along the Danube River near the Romanian border.
The end of the deal has sparked international concern over food supply, particularly for African countries already dealing with a food crisis.
Odessa suffered a "hit on port infrastructure, as a result of which a fire broke out, which the firefighters promptly extinguished," said Serhii Bratchuk, head of the public council at the Odesa Regional Military Administration said on Telegram. "It is known in advance about two injured civilians. They were given medical assistance."
Civil industrial infrastructure was struck in the Danube Region, Ukraine's office of the prosecutor general said on social media post. It has opened an investigation into the attack as a potential war crime. A survey of the damage is ongoing.
