Major Russian grain export terminal hit in Ukraine Black Sea port attack
The Russian agriculture ministry announced on Wednesday that it was working to redirect cargo flows to ports in the Baltic and Caspian Seas as well as land routes. It did not make any reference to Ukraine's attacks but said it was "taking into account current logistical constraints".Repeated explosions reportedly rang out over Novorossiysk throughout the night as air defences shot down aerial objects. An emergency situation was declared in the city on Wednesday, after the barrage of drones struck areas around the port and damaged pipelines, suspending water supply for the city.
