Russia's key oil port explodes in fireball after Ukrainian 'cruise missile attack'

[gfarber]

6. Novorossiysk

In Novorossiysk’s port through the night,
A fireball burst into sight.
Ukraine’s bold attack
Held Russia right back,
And halted its oil outright.

A terminal vital and vast
Was struck by Ukraine in a blast.
With exports now stalled,
Two per cent of all
Global supply has been cast.

A security source chose to claim
That the Kremlin’s war-funding would wane.
With millions now less
For Russia to press,
The strike hit its energy vein.

Long-range Neptunes, Ukraine’s own design,
Took out air defenses just fine.
With the shields torn away,
Drones swept in to lay
Their payloads on targets in line.

As infrastructure burned in the dark,
Each blast left its thunderous mark.
The strike, some suggest,
Was Ukraine at its best—
A blow at the Kremlin’s war arc.
