US Ambassador to Kyiv, Bridget Brink, has commented on the Russian attack on Ukraine's port infrastructure.

According to Brink, "Russia again escalated its war on Ukrainians, their livelihoods, and global food security."

"While Russia's attacks on ports and grain storage strike another blow to Ukraine and the world's most vulnerable, we will continue supporting Ukraine in exporting food to those who need it," Brink promised on Twitter.

Earlier, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis strongly condemned the recent Russian attack, striking with drones the port infrastructure in Reni, close to the Romanian border.

It was reported that Moldova's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned Russia's recent attack.

Earlier, the Ukrainian operational command South reported that on the night of July 24, Russian forces launched another strike on the Odesa region. According to Ukrainian military data, Russia targetted the Danube's port infrastructure.

As a result, the attack destroyed a warehouse containing grain and damaged tanks for storing other types of cargo. A fire broke out in one of the production facilities and was promptly extinguished.

Oleh Kiper, Head of Odesa Oblast Military Administration, informed that six port workers were affected during the attack. Four of them were admitted to the oblast hospital, one of whom is in a moderate to serious condition.
