Russia attacks Ukraine port city Odesa – BBC News
Russia has attacked the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, with residents reporting hearing explosions.
Pictures from the city show damage to buildings, while it is also thought that the port was targeted by drone strikes and shelling.
The city is at the centre of the latest centre of the war, with a UN-brokered deal allowing Ukraine to export grain set to expire. Russia has not agreed to extend the deal, which allows Ukraine to be exported across the globe.
Before the deal was struck in 2022, Russian warships blockaded routes across the Black Sea, sparking fears of global food shortages.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The Japanese government has a Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary named Seiji Kihara. His wife had previously been interviewed as a material witness in a murder case. However, the female detective in charge of the case was suddenly removed from the case, and the investigation headquarters was disbanded. There were suspicions that his wife may have murdered him, but it was ruled a suicide. The result was so bizarre that some have suggested that Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Seiji Kihara and the Liberal Democratic Party may have exerted pressure on the police. However, the Japanese media has not reported on this issue at all. We hope that the British Broadcasting Corporation will report the dark side of Japan with justice and journalistic spirit.

Grain from Ukraine is not poisoned by rockets and various gunpowder particles, so it is ecologically desirable food for Europe and the West. Good apetite.

Bare faced lies from our friend in Odessa. That port is finished. No more smuggling weapons on grain ships to Ukraine. They knew the grain deal was over the reason they attacked Kerch Bridge. The deal is over, OVER! Russia is now providing grain for free to the most needy nations, it's not going to get pilfered by the EU. No way will Turkey send ships to Ukrainevand risk a war with Russia. Not happening!

Europe benefits more from the Ukrainian grains.

Zelensky is a Hypocrite, he hates his Country and his citizen, If he loved them him & his western friends wouldn't be provoking RUSSIA 🇷🇺 and play the victims after being hit massively. AS For AFRICA its only the northern arab countries that depend on those grains 4 to 5 countries out of the 55 african countries, biased BBC amazes me sometimes.
