Russia-Ukraine conflict rages on its 568th day.
Russian air defences destroyed 11 hostile drones over Crimea on Thursday morning, the RIA news agency cited Russia's defence ministry as saying./ Photo: Reuters ArchiveUkraine has said it downed 17 out of 22 Russian drones attacking its territory overnight and that a child was killed in the country's south by artillery shelling.
Separately, Ukraine's air force said it had shot down drones in several regions in Ukraine's south and north. Having initially sought to pummel Ukrainian targets with missiles, Russia has this year increasingly turned to the Shahed, a cheap Iranian kamikaze drone which is more expendable and can confuse air defences with its smaller size and low speed.Russia said it destroyed nearly two dozen Ukrainian drones trying to hit Moscow-annexed Crimea, patrol ships in the Black Sea and border regions.
"While repelling the attack, five unmanned enemy boats were destroyed by fire from the ship's standard weapons."Chicago wheat futures fell as concerns over supply from war-torn Ukraine eased due to large exports of cheap grain from Russia, keeping prices near 33-month lows.Wheat markets are expected to tighten in the coming months as the focus switches to harvests in southern hemisphere countries such as Argentina and Australia, where crops have been hit by dry weather.
