💰 Grain ships sail despite Moscow's pullout from deal missiles rain on Ukraine

TL;DR

- Summary- Missiles hit Kyiv, other cities, knocking out power, water- Russia suspends participation in grain deal after its ships hit- Kremlin says it can no longer guarantee safety of shipping- Kyiv, West accuse Moscow of using food as weaponKYIV, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Ships brought grain from Ukrainian ports on Monday, suggesting Moscow had stopped short of reimposing a blockade that might have caused world hunger, despite suspending its participation in a U.N. programme to safely export grain from the war zone.But strikes left 80 percent of Kyiv without running water, authorities said, adding they hoped to restore it quickly.Still, the resumption of food exports from Ukrainian ports suggested that at least one dire scenario had been averted for now.For the past three weeks, Russia has been conducting a campaign of attacks on Ukrainian civil infrastructure using expensive long range missiles and cheap Iranian-made "suicide drones" that fly at a target and detonate.Ukraine has neither confirmed nor denied it was behind the explosions that hit the Crimea base of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, but says Russia's navy is a legitimate military target."
