I'm reporting tonight from Odesa, just hours after arriving—and already under drone attack. The war is shifting fast.

Ukraine just hit another major oil export hub in Novorossiysk. But this strike wasn’t just about fuel. It also targeted one of Russia’s key air-defense regiments on the Black Sea. Satellite imagery showed multiple S-400 launchers in the area. After the attack, Ukrainian officials confirmed the destruction of four S-400s, key radar systems, and possibly more.

That’s a serious loss. For context, only 19 S-400s have been visually confirmed destroyed in the entire war. This one strike may have taken out 20 to 30 percent of that number in a single night.

And it's not just Novorossiysk. Russia's air-defense network in the south is wearing thin. Ukrainian forces are showing they can break through what was supposed to be an impenetrable system.

This could be more than a tactical victory. It might signal a major turning point.
