Kherson region flooding disaster, HQ drone footage

7 Jun 23 Damage to the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (KHPP) dam in the early hours of June 6 caused massive flooding of the Dnipro River delta, river wetlands, estuaries, and shoreline settlements in Kherson Oblast.

▪️ Ukrainian officials stated that Russian forces intentionally destroyed the KHPP dam and suggested that the Russian military did not prepare for subsequent flooding.

▪️ Russian officials accused Ukrainian forces of destroying the KHPP dam and used the allegations to bolster ongoing efforts to portray Ukrainian assaults elsewhere in Ukraine as immediate failures.

▪️ The water level in Nova Kakhovka is decreasing, but it will take at least seven days before it completely leaves all flooded areas, the city administration said.

▪️ The consequences of the destruction of the infrastructure of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station may affect more than 20 thousand civilians.
