As a result of the explosion at the Kakhovka HPS, 13 settlements have been flooded, and approximately 1300 people have been evacuated

This was reported by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine.

According to preliminary information, 13 settlements on the right bank of the Dnieper River and over 260 houses have been flooded.

Psychologists from the Rescue Service are working in the assistance centers for the affected population.

The State Emergency Service has mobilized reserve forces and resources to mitigate the consequences of the emergency.

As we reported, on the night of June 6, the Russian army carried out a horrific act of terrorism by detonating the dam of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station. As a result of this crime, approximately 80 settlements are now in the flood zone.

Scientists from Kherson University have warned about the potential consequences of the explosion, including the drainage of the reservoir, water contamination, and the disappearance of flora and fauna.

Additionally, the temporarily occupied Crimea has been left without water due to the drop in water levels in the North Crimean Canal, and Zaporizhia has also experienced a noticeable decrease in water levels in the Dnieper River due to the explosion at the power station.

The world is reacting to another war crime committed by Russia. The President of the European Council, Charles Michel, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, President of Moldova Maia Sandu, and the UK Foreign Minister James Cleverly have condemned the terrorist act by the Russian aggressors at the dam.

As expected, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, have responded by blaming the Ukrainian government for everything, disregarding accusations against Russia regarding the explosion at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station.
