Something definitely burning.

If the reporting and geolocating is correct, they hit the large-scale/long-range SAM battery that protects the harbor first (flashy explosion, but not much fire) and then hit the export dock/terminal (lots of fire, still burning hard, mushroom-looking cloud).  That's some pretty solid coordination.

Lot of good footage of this thing.

There is some slight confusion - some are saying the area above the cargo terminal was some kind of military facility/base/barracks. Not sure if naval related or some kind of facility for export/import of military cargo or not.

Just hitting the large SAM installation and the oil terminal are huge though.  Cargo...can be offloaded at one of the other piers (even if it's a pain in the ass).

This was a well-coordinated strike.  Still can't believe how easily they wrecked the SAM battery.

Both oil terminals in the Black Sea that Russia was using have been hit hard.

Absolutely terrifying.  Ukraine should be hacking Russian social media networks and spreading this stuff.

Speaking of drones, Russians should be careful where they plant flags, given the drone situation.

Ukraine's General Staff reports Defense Forces struck the Novorossiysk naval base in Russia's Krasnodar region overnight using Neptune missiles and attack drones, hitting port infrastructure, the Sheskharis oil terminal, and an S-400 launcher with its missile storage, triggering detonations and fires. Strikes also hit the Saratov oil refinery in Saratov region, causing explosions and fires on site. The Kristal fuel storage facility near Engels in Saratov region was also struck, with explosions and fires reported.

Really don't know how these people don't flip out in the future when hanging out in the park and some kid flies a drone near them

Speaking of, wonder if they are targeting gas stations or if it was accidental.

Even high school students in Europe know what's up

A group of Slovak high-schoolers walked out on Prime Minister Robert Fico after he ranted against helping Ukraine, local media report. When Fico claimed the EU was spending “140 billion euros to prolong the war” and told students to “go fight if you’re such heroes,” they drowned him out with jingling keys and left the hall.

The jingling keys thing refers to this:

Reuters reporting that oil/cargo transfers halted.

Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk suspends oil exports after Ukrainian drone attack, sources say | Reuters

This is probably what went boom in that one epic explosion that left a mushroom cloud.

I’m not really a fossil fuel technocrat, so I’m not sure how Russia exporting   < checks notes > zero….amounts of fuel from the damaged harbor is a good thing.   

Having no money to prosecute the war will probably free up an army of unemployed bank tellers to hit the front line. 

Advantage Putin.

Not to be pedantic, but..

If I understand it correctly, with the damage to the refiners, Russia needs to export oil to anyone who will still take it, and then import fuel.  Hitting the ports seriously fucks that up.  People halfway joke about the vodka production, but honestly they may end up having to use higher proof alcohol (ethanol) for their cars and generators eventually.  Of course that isn't a replacement for diesel.
