- Ukraine carried out an overnight blitz that struck major Russian grain export terminals at Novorossiysk, killing three people, per Al Jazeera and BBC headlines.
- Russia's Novorossiysk port — one of its key Black Sea grain export hubs — was damaged in the strike, with WSJ framing the broader assault as squeezing 'another global chokepoint' in the war's maritime footprint.
Why it matters: Novorossiysk handles a significant share of Russia's grain exports, and a direct hit on its terminal infrastructure cuts into a revenue stream while signaling that Black Sea ports on both sides are now in the crosshairs of the grain and shipping war.
