Russia hit a grain ship with a missile immediately after it left Ukrainian waters on Thursday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Telegram.
While Russia has repeatedly attacked Ukraine’s grain-export infrastructure including in the Black Sea and on the Danube, it appears to be the first time since the 2022 invasion that a ship with grain from Ukraine has been hit while in neutral waters. The vessel was carrying wheat for Egypt, Zelenskiy said. There are no casualties reported so far.
