German foreign minister warns Russian attacks on Black Sea shipping raise global famine risk

Germany's foreign minister has warned that Russian attacks on Black Sea shipping raise the risk of a global famine. Russian strikes increasingly threaten civilian vessels and Ukrainian grain exports.

According to the minister, shipping disruptions could leave vulnerable countries without essential supplies: food and fertilizers.

The available information does not specify which vessels or ports were hit, and it gives no figures or names of the countries most at risk.
