FESCO, a Russian logistics and shipping company, has stopped accepting new shipment orders through the Black Sea after a Ukrainian drone attack on one of its vessels last week, according to Hellenic Shipping News. This move highlights the increasing disruption to shipping operations due to intensified attacks on vessels by both Russia and Ukraine.
The attacks have driven wheat prices higher. There have been various incidents reported, including a Ukrainian drone attack on a Wildberries logistics center in Aleksin, Russia's Tula Oblast, which sparked a massive fire, as reported by New Voice of Ukraine. Additionally, Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region have resulted in casualties, with at least 15 people killed and 42 others wounded, according to Associated Press.
In a separate incident, a market trader in Kherson described being chased by a Russian first-person-view drone that exploded beside his van, an attack Ukraine has called a war crime, as reported by Euronews.
