“Russia has announced Sunday that a major dam in the Russian-controlled region of Kherson was damaged in a Ukrainian strike using an advanced US-supplied system…
The Kakhovka hydroelectric dam in southern Ukraine has been in Russian hands since near the start of the invasion of Ukraine, considered a critical asset to the Russians given it supplies water to Crimea. This also makes it a potential target for the Ukrainian army, given President Zelensky’s prior pledges to ‘liberate’ Crimea.
An official with the Moscow-installed administration, however, said ‘Everything is under control. The main air defense strikes were repelled, one missile hit [the dam], but did not cause critical damage.'”
