KYIV (Reuters) - Ukrainian railways have partially restricted cargo shipments to Ukraine's major Danube River port Izmail, which has been the target of Russian drone attacks in recent weeks, the railways said on Monday.
The restrictions began on Sunday, the railways said in a statement.
Russia has attacked Ukrainian ports on the Danube River with drones two nights in a row.
The latest attack on the Danube River port of Izmail, in Ukraine's southern Odesa region, hit warehouses and production buildings, and debris from drones that were shot down set ablaze several civilian infrastructure buildings, the regional authorities said.
Ukraine said some Russian drones detonated on the opposite bank in Romanian territory. Romania denied this.
The Danube has become Ukraine's main route for exporting grain since July, when Russia quit a U.N.- and Turkey-brokered deal that had given safe passage to Kyiv's exports of grains, oilseeds and vegetables oils via the Black Sea.
