Collapse of Ukraine’s Nova Kakhovka dam an ‘ecological catastrophe’

The destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam, which lies 58 km up the Dnipro river in Russian-occupied Ukraine, has resulted in widespread flooding across Kherson, cutting off some areas entirely. Ukrainian authorities have been evacuating hundreds of civilians from the affected area. The rising waters have made rescue efforts more difficult, with many residents bringing few possessions with them and some evacuations having to be carried out by boat.
The Russian-installed mayor of Nova Kakhovka has stated that people are still trapped in the flood-hit town.
