2023-06-06 12:51:01 Spokesperson for South Operational Command Natalia Humeniuk to Radio Svoboda:

Not the whole dam of Kakhovka HPP was destroyed, but it was severely damaged. It was blown up from the inside;

The site was severely damaged. The volume of destruction is high, so the water rise can be very high;

It was not a rocket strike: "even by the type of damage, from the appearance of the dam itself, it is clear that the detonation took place from the inside";

"They decided that this way they would be able to stop the counteroffensive of Ukrainian Forces.

They are trying to increase the water surface area so that Ukrainian defense forces do not resort to forcing". She did not specify how this could influence the counteroffensive.

But now the "line of firing positions" of the Russian military will move because "the water will do its job."

This means that Kherson residents on the right bank of Dnipro river will have it "a little easier" with shelling. Open / Comment

2023-06-06 12:21:01 Statement by UkrHydroEnergo: Russia blew up Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant in the early hours of 6th June. Its engine room has been destroyed completely. The station cannot be restored. By preliminary forecast, the reservoir is expected to run out within the next 4 days. As of 9 am on 6th June the water level in Kakhovka reservoir is decreasing rapidly, the evacuation of population from potentially flooded regions has begun. Uncontrolled decrease of water level is an additional threat for temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The water from Kakhovka reservoir is necessary so the plant receives power for turbine capacitors and safety systems of the ZNPP. Ukrainian personnel at the plant is monitoring all indicators closely. President of Ukraine has called a meeting of Council of National Security and Defense of Ukraine. UkrHydroEnergo continues to analyze the situation, our experts are working to clarify the scale of destruction, speed and volume of water. Information will be updated. Open / Comment
