UPDATED. Russia strikes Ukrainian ports a day after pulling out of a UN-backed deal for safe Black Sea grain exports, a decision that raises concern primarily in Africa and Asia of rising food prices and hunger.
Ukrainian air defense systems were engaged in the early hours of Wednesday, July 19, in repelling a Russian air attack on the southern port of Odesa for a second consecutive night, the region’s governor said.
Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s office said 10 civilians, including a 9-year-old boy, were wounded. Grains terminals were damaged as well as an industrial facility, warehouses, shopping malls, residential and administrative buildings and cars. Air defenses had shot down 37 of them, it said, a lower proportion than it has usually reported over months of attacks.
“A difficult night of air attacks for all of Ukraine, especially in the south, in Odesa,” Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv’s city military administration, said on the Telegram channel. He said Kyiv was attacked and according to preliminary information there was some damage or casualties.In Crimea a fire broke out a military training ground in the Kirovske district, forcing the evacuation of more than 2,000 people from four settlements, the Russian-installed governor of Crimea said.
