Russian missiles blasted Ukrainian grain warehouses in Odesa for the fourth day in a row, destroying more than 120 of crops meant for export — as the Kremlin’s fleet practiced seizing ships in the Black Sea.
The attacks were carried out with Kalibr cruise missiles fired from the Black Sea targeting the grain terminals of an agricultural business, Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa regional military administration, wrote in a Telegram post Friday.
A pair of low-flying missiles ignited a fire at a farm storehouse, then a third struck during firefighting efforts, leaving two people injured.
“The enemy destroyed 100 tons of peas and 20 tons of barley,” Kiper said, adding that two people were injured in the attacks.
