Thousands flee homes as collapse of dam is blamed on Russian forces
Ukrainian authorities call for people living downstream of Nova Kakhovka dam to evacuate in face of potentially deadly flooding.
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and an ecological disaster has been unleashed on southern Ukraine by the collapse of a major hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River, which Kyiv said was blown up by Russia in a desperate attempt to ward off a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, declared the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam an "environmental bomb of mass destruction" and said only liberating the entire country could guarantee against new "terrorist" acts.

Thousands flee homes as collapse of dam is blamed on Russian forces
Ukrainian authorities call for people living downstream of Nova Kakhovka dam to evacuate in face of potentially deadly flooding.
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and an ecological disaster has been unleashed on southern Ukraine by the collapse of a major hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River, which Kyiv said was blown up by Russia in a desperate attempt to ward off a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

As flood waters rise around them, Kherson residents cast blame for destroyed dam on 'inhumane' Moscow
After the attack on the Nova Kakhovka dam, people downstream survey the damage.
In what should have been a Kherson street corner, Larysa Musian, a hydrologist, sits and watches the flood waters rising. The Dnipro River used to be 300-400 metres away, but after the dam at Nova Kakhovka was breached at 2.50am on Tuesday, it has burst into the city, flooding the first two or three blocks of the lowest lying quarter.
Every half hour, Musian rises from her stool, carrying a square charcoal grey ruler. The water, she says, is rising "6 to 8cm every half hour" and is 3 metres above where it was before the dam burst. She phones through her figures to colleagues in the regional monitoring centre in nearby Mykolaiv.
"When it goes back to 5cm an hour, and then four, we can start saying it has stabilised,": Musian

Thousands flee homes as collapse of dam is blamed on Russian forces
Ukrainian authorities call for people living downstream of Nova Kakhovka dam to evacuate in face of potentially deadly flooding.
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes and an ecological disaster has been unleashed on southern Ukraine by the collapse of a major hydroelectric dam on the Dnipro River, which Kyiv said was blown up by Russia in a desperate attempt to ward off a Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, declared the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam an "environmental bomb of mass destruction" and said only liberating the entire country could guarantee against new "terrorist" acts.
People look at rising flood water in central Kherson, around 300 meters from the Dnipro river on June 6, 2023 in Kherson, Ukraine. A major dam and hydroelectric power plant in southern Ukraine have been destroyed, unleashing flooding near the front lines.
