Russia has carried out another drone attack targeting Ukrainian grain industry in the southern Odessa region, according to Ukrainian authorities.

Meanwhile, a drone is reported to have crashed into a building in central Moscow on Wednesday morning.

“The enemy hit a grain warehouse and a production and transshipment facility in the Danube region. A fire broke out, but was quickly extinguished. The fire department continues its work,” Ukrainian military writes.

Russia has recently continuously carried out similar attacks, specifically targeting Ukrainian grain warehouses. This after Russia in July chose not to renew the agreement that made it possible to export Ukrainian and Russian grain across the Black Sea.

From the Moscow area, Russian air defense is reported to have shot down two drones early Wednesday morning. Another drone was shot down over the center of the capital, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

No people are said to have been injured in the attacks. However, one of the downed drones is said to have hit a building under construction in central Moscow.

The incident led to the suspension of all air traffic to and from Moscow’s airports for a couple of hours.

It was the sixth night in a row that drone attacks were directed at Moscow.
