The dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station (HPP) in the Kherson region collapsed due to damage, and the territories are currently being flooded. This was reported by TASS with reference to a source in the government.

According to the source, there were no arrivals from the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). “It was quiet at night. There were no flights. The dam could not stand it, one support collapsed, and flooding started,” he stressed.

The mayor of Nova Kakhovka, Volodymyr Leontiev, denied reports that Ukrainian troops had blown up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.

The fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck at the hydroelectric power station became known from Telegram channels on the night of Monday to Tuesday, from June 5 to 6. Sources said that the water level downstream of the Dnieper began to rise.
