A drone assault on a Danube River port sent shock waves — both the physical and the psychological kind — into villages just across the water that are in NATO territory.
Since the collapse of the Black Sea grain deal two weeks ago, small ports on the Danube River are the only shipping outlet for millions of tons of grain.
The attack on a grain hangar on the Danube River, an alternative export route that has become an economic lifeline, complicates Ukraine’s efforts to export its grain.
The assault, across the river from Romania, heightened the risk of a more direct confrontation with a NATO member and came on the same day that drones struck buildings in Moscow.
