A Russian drone strike that targeted a Ukrainian port on the River Danube has caused a spike in global grain prices.
At one point, the cost of wheat rose by about 5% after the attack on Izmail, close to the border with Romania.
Ukraine said the strike had damaged more than 40,000 tonnes of grain destined for countries in Africa, as well as China and Israel.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has come under pressure to return to a deal which allowed safe passage for grain shipments through the Black Sea.
It is feared that the attacks on ports along the Danube could further hit exports, potentially causing global food supply problems.
