Russia steps up pressure on Ukrainian exports by attacking a cargo ship in the Black Sea

Russia has intensified pressure on Ukraine's exports by attacking a cargo ship in the Black Sea, targeting the Mera Queen, a vessel flying the flag of Guinea-Bissau carrying grain from Odessa port. The attack resulted in one crew member death and onboard fire. Hours later, Russia claimed to have shot down over 600 Ukrainian drones during the night, the highest number since the invasion began. The incident occurred amid Russia's ongoing campaign to disrupt Ukrainian maritime trade, which has seen daily attacks on ports and infrastructure in the Black Sea region. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues expanding its attacks on Russian territory, with reports of drone strikes on logistics centers, including those of Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries. These actions reflect both sides' efforts to target each other's economies despite the war entering its fourth year.
