Ukraine hammered Russia's Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk in a massive overnight drone attack which put two major grain terminals out of action.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also said on Telegram that Ukraine had hit Russia's Novorossiysk naval base with drones, missiles and unmanned boats.

Russia moved some of its Black Sea Fleet vessels to Novorossiysk after Kyiv's forces attacked them repeatedly in Crimea, which Moscow seized and annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

Russia is the world's largest wheat exporter and most of those exports are shipped via its Black Sea ports like Novorossiysk.
