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.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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.
