Latest Developments in Ukraine: Sept. 25
9:11 a.m.: Seven more ships laden with agricultural produce left Ukrainian ports on Sunday, the country's infrastructure ministry said, and Reuters reported. This brings the total to 218 since a U.N.-brokered corridor through the Black Sea came into force at the start of August.
In a post on Facebook, the ministry said this brought the total amount of agricultural produce shipped through the corridor to 4.85 million tons.
"On September 25 ... seven ships with 146.2 thousand tons of agricultural produce for countries in Africa, Asia and Europe left the ports of Odesa, Chornomorsk and Pivdennyi," the ministry said.
Ukraine shipped up to six million tons of grain per month before the war.
8:40 a.m.: Ukraine and Russia traded accusations on Sunday of attacks on civilians in southern Ukraine, according to Reuters.
Ukraine's military said Russian forces had launched dozens of missile attacks and air strikes on military and civilian targets in the past 24 hours. Russia also used drones to attack the center of the southern city of Odesa, Ukraine's military said. No casualties were reported.
Russia denies deliberately attacking civilians. The RIA state news agency reported Ukrainian forces bombed a hotel in the city of Kherson, killing two people. Russian forces have occupied the southern city since the early days of the invasion.
There was no immediate response from Ukraine.
Russia's defense ministry said on Sunday Ukrainian forces continued attacks around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, including launching eight "kamikaze drones" at the facility.
