Debris And Floodwaters From Kakhovka Dam Destruction Pervade Wider Region

ODESA, UKRAINE - JUNE 13: A polluted beach with objects some of which presumably were washed down the Dnipro River as the result of the Kakhovka dam destruction on June 13, 2023 in Odesa, Ukraine. Last week, the Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric power plant, which sit on the Dnipro river in the southern Kherson region, were destroyed, forcing downstream communities to evacuate do to risk of flooding. The Dnipro river has served as a frontline between the warring armies following Russia's retreat from Kherson and surrounding areas last autumn. The impact from the dam's destruction has been felt in the wider region, imperilling agriculture and drinking water, in addition to the damage caused by floodwaters.
