Ukraine’s massive drone assault on Novorossiysk shuts down major grain terminals, defying U.S. warnings
Ukraine launched a massive drone and missile strike on Russia’s Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, damaging key grain export terminals and a naval base.
The attack killed at least three people, including a child, and knocked out two of Russia’s largest grain terminals with a combined annual export capacity of over 15 million metric tons.
The strike contradicts a reported agreement following Vice President JD Vance’s request that Ukraine avoid targeting infrastructure crucial to global energy markets.

Wheat futures rose roughly 3% on global markets, underscoring the geopolitical sensitivity of Black Sea supply chains.
