Novorossiysk Grain Terminals Hit by Ukrainian Drone Strikes

Russia's grain export terminals at Novorossiysk have suspended operations following Ukrainian drone strikes, sources say.

The attacks targeted two of Russia's largest grain terminals at the southern port, which is responsible for exporting most of the country's wheat. The Novorossiysk terminal has an export capacity of 8.5 million metric tons per year and NKHP, another large grain terminal, had an export capacity of 7.1 million metric tons per year.

The strikes have raised concerns about potential disruptions to global food supplies and could lead to price increases in Africa and the Middle East, according to the Russian main grain lobby group. The group warned last month that Ukrainian drone attacks could shut down grain exports via the Black Sea in the near future.
