"In the early hours on Tuesday, footage began to emerge of water spilling from
the strategically important Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine. The Ukraine
army’s southern military command said the dam had been blown up by Russian
forces. The local Russian-installed mayor has called it a “terrorist act”.

Nova Kakhovka dam on the Dnipro River lies about 20 miles (30km) east of the
city of Kherson. Its destruction will have a number of significant
repercussions for the local area – and for Ukraine’s wider war effort."
