A missile attack that damaged facilities near the port of Odesa highlights how difficult it will be for Ukraine to revive a grain export corridor in the Black Sea.
Ukrainian and Russian sources confirmed that missiles and drones launched from Russian Navy ships in the Black Sea hit Odesa on Monday night.
According to the Telegram channel of a Ukrainian official, “port infrastructure facilities and several private homes” were damaged — whether as a result of direct hits or by debris from downed missiles.
