a local resident told us most of this damage was done in the days fore the liberation hi city itself. colonel told us the victory was down to strategy and western supplied weapons. which weapons were important in this fight? "artillery was very important," he said, "american weapons, and of course the himars." down the road, a bombed out convoy, vehicles used by russian soldiers who tried to escape the onslaught. even among their scattered belongings left behind, further danger lurked, russian anti-tank mines. so too left behind, the bodies of russian soldiers, found on the road in the immediate aftermath of the fighting. we reached the center to find a city in tatters. the few remaining residents emerged grateful for aid workers handing out a few loves of bread.

there is no electricity, no running water, and no heat for their homes. with winter on the way, and no guarantee the russians won't return to try to wrestle this city back. the colonel told us lyman is not just a military loss, but blow to russian morale, and tonight we're told troops have advanced to at least another 12 miles past that city. norah? >> they're on the move. charlie d'agata, thank you. turn now to breaking news. north korea has launched two more suspected ballistic missiles towards the sea of japan. the latest missile launches come just two days after the north fired an intermediate range missile, which flew over japan. today's launch is seen as an i parent response to u.s. military drills with south korea. we turn now to our cbs news exclusive with cherelle griner. that's the wife of wnba star brittney griner. in an interview with "cbs mornings's" gayle king, she said

of the law. >> reporter: but it's the main focus for republican mark finchem. he was in washington, seen here in the crowd on january 6th, 2021. and now he is running to be arizona's secretary of state. it's a job that would put him in charge of elections ahead of the 2024 presidential campaign. >> that's why i'm a threat to the left, and they know they got somebody who is not t let gothis. candidate adrian fontes is especially concerned what could happen if donald trump wins. >> he may not certify the election that donald trump didn't win in 2024 again. this could be the last free election we have in our lifetimes. >> reporter: our battleground tracker finds most think abortion should be legal. and that comes as a judge has reenstated a law dating back to 1864 that ends abortion access in arizona, and would jail doctors performing them. that decision upset long-time republican heather carter so much that she's now leaving the gop. >> when you talk to women in

arizona and they share their personal stories one-on-one, many of them are using this issue as the deciding factor in the 2022 election. >> reporter: and in the land of canyon, cacti and the cardinals, just like everywhere else, the economy and inflation are the top concerns. >> i see it as a businessman that we're going to hurt for the next ten years. this giant wave that we're on is going to affect us. >> reporter: immigration is also a big issue of concern here in arizona. perhaps no surprise given that border towns continue to see a surge in migrants. and on the issue of the 2020 elections, there is this from the poll. a majority of voters say -- the vast majority, in fact say they want the next governor, whoever she, to accept the results of future elections no matter which party wins. >> that's ed o'keefe in tempe, arizona. the pentagon's training program for navy s.e.a.l.s has been under investigation after the death of a recruit back in

more than 15 seconds. in this video, the gas lasts for more than a minute. one recruit appears to pass out. >> we should not injure our recruits that really serve for us in this way. i think it doesn't make any sense in training to do this, and could cause long-term injury. >> reporter: the video comes to light as the navy is already investigating whether the notoriously tough selection course has become too brutal, even for an elite unit like the navy s.e.a.l.s. david martin at the pentagon. >> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back.
