Ukraine war: Floods hit Kherson after huge dam destroyed – BBC News
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes in southern Ukraine because of flooding caused by the damage to a dam on the Dnipro River.
President Volodymyr Zelensky Zelensky said 80 towns and villages may be flooded after the attack, which he blamed on Russia.
Water is surging down the Dnipro river and is said to pose a catastrophic flooding risk to the city of Kherson.
Russia has denied destroying the dam – which is in territory under its control – instead blaming Ukrainian shelling.

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.

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.

Vladimir Putin! President worthy of the great, magnanimous and victorious Russian nation, over would-be global rulers. The world knows that Ukraine's defenders have no feelings for her, but Russia's kick in the bag of dollars hurts a lot.

So huge tragedy of Ukraine. I was born in Ukraine in 1967. My father was born in Ukraine in 1924. He told me stories about his life of his childhood. My father and Ukrainians were part of the Genocide of Famine – Holodomor by Kremlin, Moscow, Russia in 1932 – 33, in 1947.
My father was 8 years old in 1932. He remembers when Special Troops of Executors of Orders
Soviet Activities had confiscated all food to a last grains.
My father had terrbl suffered without food, but he is survived. He's 5 years old brother past away hunger in terrible conditions of suffered, and he became very swollen and died in terrible agony.
Soviet's Moscow did Genocide of Ukranians, and the Putin's Russia are continues terrorism of Genocide of Ukranians by all defferent methods today.

Who else is to blame, common sense tells Putin evilness is beyond control, desperation of Putin goes against Geneva convention, shelling of civilian population, hospitals, kidnapping of children, torturing of civilian and soldiers alike, and many more…I just thought Hitler is alive now living in Russia.

We need more awareness about this ecological disaster in Ukraine caused by destroyed dam.
I created a video about long-term consequences of this awful ecocide.
Learn about the unique soviet project of Kakhovka power plant and about future of these territories now when the dam ruined.
I am from Ukraine and I don’t understand how someone can think the dam was blown up by Ukrainians.
I’ll be glad to see you on my channel about Ukraine.
Marvelous Kyiv – the name of my channel.

There are no media outlets in the United States that are not controlled by oligarchs. The United States forced Europe to give its weapons to Ukraine so that later, Europe would buy weapons from the United States. This war is beneficial only to the United States.

The Russians as an argument, say that the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Station made it WORSE for the Russians, therefore, this is the work of the Ukrainians. Yes, they did get the situation worse too, because they had NOT calculated the consequences FOR THEMSELVES. The main thing for them was to hurt Ukraine. But their troubles cannot even be compared with the catastrophe that the destruction of the HPS brought to Ukraine! WHY should Ukrainians destroy their own dam and their own power station? The Russians ARE NOT capable to calculate the consequences – they are fools – first they do, and THEN they think.
Did the attack on Ukraine give any positive result for/to them? NO! Why NOT? For the same reason – first, without thinking the consequences through, they attacked Ukraine, and NOW they see that they only did it WORSE to themselves. They used to live in peace, they were making big money on the sale of hydrocarbons and they were doing fine. NOW they have got sanctions and no one wants to do business with them. NOW they cannot trade as before, and are forced to sell oil at bargain prices to some 3 countries, because they cannot stop oil production, and there is nowhere to store it. Instead of receiving huge profits from many countries, NOW they receive pennies from only a few countries. Was it a SMART decision to attack Ukraine? I don’t think so.
The argument that they got the situation WORSE for themselves from the destruction of the HPS says only one thing – it was their another stupid decision.

The professor is a pompous ass. Who says it has been made illegal since the 1970s ? Which law, which organisation made it illegal ? Who signed it ? Don't make things up. The US used napalm and Agent Orange in Vietnam, then depleted uranium in Iraq, used drones to fire at a wedding party in Afghanistan, and did water boarding torture in Guamtanmo.
Hence, cut out the pious humbug. This is an unprovable accusation. What if Ukraine did it ? Will you say it is a war crime ?
It is clear the Ukranian counter offensive is a flop and side issues are raked up to cover it.

How did we start thinking that the dam had been deiberately destroyed? Maybe it just collapsed?
