00:00Ukraine just pulled off another bold strike in the Black Sea.
00:03And this time, the target was part of Russia's secret oil smuggling fleet.
00:07According to Ukraine's security service,
00:10a maritime drone called Sea Baby slammed into a Russian Shadow Fleet tanker named Dishon.
00:15And within seconds, explosions rocked the ship's stern.
00:19Massive smoke clouds poured into the sky.
00:21This wasn't just any ship.
00:23It was part of a covert operation to sneak Russian oil past Western sanctions.
00:27The tanker was flying the flag of the Comoro Islands.
00:30Its transponder was off.
00:32And it was rushing toward Russia's key oil hub, Novorossysk.
00:36Ukraine says the ship is now disabled and suffered critical damage.
00:40That makes it the third Russian oil tanker targeted in just two weeks.
00:44It's part of Kyiv's bigger plan to hit Moscow where it hurts most, oil revenue.
00:49And while Russia remains silent on the strike,
00:52Ukraine says this is just one more step in cutting off Putin's war funds.
00:56This war isn't just being fought on land anymore.
00:59It's on the seas and in the shadows.
