# Drones attack three commercial vessels exporting grain via the Danube

> Unidentified drones struck three cargo ships near Sulina, Romania, on 14 November, at the entry to the channel Ukraine uses for grain exports since halting Black Sea port operations. The vessels, including the Greek-flagged tanker Evia Petrol V and the bulk carrier Marsol, suffered fires that were extinguished by crews with no injuries reported. Romanian authorities have not identified the attackers but linked the incidents to Russia's war against Ukraine.

## Why it matters

The Sulina route handles only a fraction of Ukraine's grain export capacity, so attacks there tighten an already constrained outlet and add war-risk and freight costs, supporting wheat and corn prices and raising feed-ingredient costs in importing markets.
