Russia has blown up major Ukrainian dam, says Kyiv – BBC News
Ukraine’s military has accused Russian forces of blowing up a major dam in the Moscow-seized region of Kherson in the south of the country.
There are fears that thousands of houses downstream may now be flooded.
A Russian-installed local official said only the power plant’s upper part was destroyed by shelling – but not the dam itself.
Neither claims have been verified by the BBC.

Do you know your family medical history? For hundreds of thousands of care-experienced people, the answer isn’t always straightforward.
Missing medical and childhood information can affect access to healthcare, from identifying inherited conditions to getting an autism assessment.
In some cases, the consequences can be life-threatening, with people unaware of genetic conditions that could put them at serious risk.
BBC journalist Sophia Watkins travelled across the UK to meet adopted and care-experienced people, hearing how gaps in their records have affected their lives and what they’ve done to find answers.

Pope Leo XIV has been diagnosed with lung cancer and has had surgery to remove a lower lobe of his right lung, the Vatican has said in a medical bulletin.
The 71-year-old underwent a 90 minute operation on Tuesday at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital and was subsequently diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma.
The lump was first detected during what the Vatican has described as “routine checks”.
Earlier, large crowds gathered outside the hospital to greet the Pope, with some waiting for several hours. They cheered greetings and well wishes as he passed, while he waved and smiled back through the lowered back window of his car.
He was then met by staff on the hospital steps. “I’m sorry,” one of them commiserated, to which the Pope gave a smile and a shrug. “We’re here for you,” he was assured.
In its statement, the Vatican said the whole lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung was removed “to ensure the procedure was radical”.
A Vatican source told Agence France-Presse news agency that further tests are being carried out to see if there was any sign the cancer had spread.
Leo XIV announced news of his operation to the world on Sunday, without at that time confirming that he was suffering from cancer. Speaking from the balcony in St Peter’s Square after delivering the traditional Angelus blessing, he said the nodule, or growth, on his lung was “contained” and had been found “at a very early stage”, but that doctors had advised him to have it removed.
Nodules are quite common and not necessarily cancerous, but after it was examined the medical team confirmed it was pulmonary adenocarcinoma, “as suspected by pre-operative tests”, the Vatican said. It said that the pontiff, who is generally thought to be fit, had no symptoms of infection or illness.

A US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent has shot a man in his car in the Bronx in New York City while the man’s five-year-old son sat in the backseat.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which runs ICE, confirmed an officer discharged his weapon while attempting to arrest a “criminal illegal alien” on Thursday.
The man, later identified as 28-year-old Oscar Belgal, was alive and at a local hospital, officials said.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the ICE officer fired “multiple rounds” into the car with a child inside, calling it an “unconscionable and incredibly serious situation”. The BBC has contacted DHS for comment about Mamdani’s remarks.
The DHS said Belgal was from the Dominican Republic and had “a prior criminal conviction for grand larceny and multiple prior arrests for assault, robbery, possession of drugs and weapons possession”.
It also claimed Belgal was associated with a transnational criminal group.

All that bridge and fuel depo and dam before that it's attacked directly by the US bombers operated by the US military personal. Ukraine has no capacity and capable military personal to do that. For the dam was used two B1 bomber which was seen fling and refueling in that area in same time when dam was hit. This war was planned, provoked, started, sponsored and supported by the USA like most of the wars in last 50 years. USA or more precise US paranoic tycoons always spend billions to start a war using a US corrupt politicians in countries where workers have advanced rights free health system, free education they hate those inks and if someone say in USA free health they hysterically say but if we have that we will become communists or Marxist. Western European counties have installed free health system from 30 years ago for example and they are NOT communists, they are real democratic society. unfortunately, US goes to become bloody capitalist society and they tycoons like all world to become the same by brutal force of US army. Not just capitalism US tycoons who actually run this country like bloody capitalism.

Just as an exercise:
If the Ukrainians destroyed the dam, would they have done so if Russia hadn’t invaded their country and claimed their land?
Why build housing, a zoo, etc in front of the potential flood waters behind a dam, which could be unleashed under any number of circumstances?
Why build dams? If the dam didn’t exist in the first place, could it have been destroyed?
And so on.
