When hitting the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station (HPP), presumably, the Alder multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) was used, TASS writes with reference to a representative of the emergency services of the Kherson region.

“The strike was supposedly delivered from the Alder (RS-2) MLRS,” he said about the weapon. As a result of the impact, the structures of the hydroelectric power station were partially destroyed. Because of this, under the pressure of water, three spans of the hydroelectric power station collapsed.

About 300 houses in Korsunk and Dnepryan, located below Novaya Kakhovka, were in the zone of possible flooding.

The mayor of Nova Kakhovka, Vladimir Leontiev, said that the shelling of the object was carried out on the night of June 5-6, around 02:00. He called the incident a serious terrorist attack, the details of which will be studied in detail.
