The water level in the flooded areas of Kherson region has dropped to 2.7 meters

This was reported by the head of the Kherson Regional State Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, in a video address.

“The trend of decreasing water level continues. As of this morning, the average level of flooding is 2.7 meters, which is 27 centimeters lower than yesterday evening”, Prokudin said.

“On the right bank, there are still 3,600 houses flooded in 31 settlements. Yesterday, the water receded from 200 houses. Unfortunately, we have fatalities. Yesterday in Kherson, the bodies of two drowning victims were found – an unidentified woman and a 50-year-old man. Currently, we have information about 10 fatalities (in the Kherson region) due to the explosion of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station, and 20 more people were injured, with 42 individuals still considered missing”, the head of the Regional State Administration reported.

The rescue operation is still ongoing, he noted.

“So far, we have managed to rescue 2,757 people from flooded cities, towns, and villages, including 263 children and 77 people with mobility difficulties”, Prokudin stated.

“The situation on the left bank remains extremely critical, with 17 settlements submerged underwater, and Russia shows no hurry to rescue the people who are in mortal danger because of them. We, on the other hand, are doing everything possible to rescue our people from there. Currently, we have evacuated 133 individuals from the left bank,” the head of the Regional State Administration announced.

As reported earlier, the water level in Kherson region continues to decrease, and the Kakhovka reservoir is drying up. However, the situation on the left bank of Kherson region remains complicated. According to Prokudin, the rate of water level decline has slowed down in the occupied territories. At the same time, the Russians have completely failed to evacuate civilians.
