Zelenskyy visits area flooded by destroyed dam as five reported dead in Russian-occupied city

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has visited the flood-hit southern region of Kherson to assess the situation following the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam.

The flooding from the breach extends over 600 square kilometres on the Ukrainian-held right bank of the Dnieper River and the Russian-held left bank, with up to14,000 homes flooded and nearly 4,300 people evacuated in Russian areas. The reason for the dam's collapse remains unclear.
