Large Dam Spanning the Dnipro River Blows Up - Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Nova Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast, UkraineOn the early morning of 6 June 2023, the Nova Kakhovka Dam, spanning a length of 3,273 m (10,738 ft) of the Dnipro River, blew up, with wide-spread flooding occurring from the reservoir that the dam created. The Russian-held town of Nova Kakhovka is flooded, the Ukrainian-held city of Kherson is evacuated and is flooded, many islands that were in the Dnipro River downstream are flooded, and Russian forces south of the river retreated from flooded positions. The flooding of the reservoir will result in the loss of cooling capabilities for the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant located upstream in the Russian-held village of Enerhodar in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
As usual, people quickly point fingers:
Ukraine and our /uhg/ board has blamed Russia for the attack.
