Report On The Nova Kakhova Dam Breach
A few hours ago an alleged explosion blew up the Nova Kakhova dam in Ukraine.
It was either that or structural damage from previous strikes. Previously the Russian army had pulled back its troops from the northern part of Kherson oblast because a dam breach would endanger their supply route.
We do not know yet how much of the dam has been damaged. How much water will be flowing out of it depends on the part of the wall that is still standing below the current water level.
Of note is that the Ukraine had previously filled the upstream dams on the Dnieper to the brim to increase the potential damage. Those waters were released in early May.
