A Russian drone damaged the Panama-flagged bulker Bull, carrying corn, near Chornomorsk in the Odesa region. One crew member was injured, and the vessel continued toward the Bosphorus.
Russia has been attacking Ukraine's maritime export infrastructure in recent months.
Attacks on vessels and ports raise insurance and freight costs and threaten Ukraine's corn export flows, supporting higher freight and modestly firmer corn prices.
After 323 past bullish geopolitics events, Corn moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -1.5% to +2.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
