Attacks have multiplied on both sides of the Black Sea since Russia exited a deal protecting grain exports from Ukraine, with Moscow hitting port infrastructure, while Kyiv has been targeting Russia's Black Sea Fleet. The Ukrainian air force says it shot down 30 cruise missiles overnight, while Kyiv struck two bridges in occupied territories. Russia also claims to have intercepted a Ukrainian drone south-west of Moscow, amid a surge in such attacks targeting the capital. On Sunday, President Zelensky visited an airfield at an undisclosed location. FRANCE 24's Clémence Waller tells us more.
