Ukraine: Dam collapse forces evacuation of Russian-occupied Kherson region

The collapse of the critical dam on the Dnipro River has prompted evacuations in the Russian-occupied Kherson region in southern Ukraine as floodwaters rise.
 
Kyiv and Moscow have blamed each other for the dam breach.
 
Ukrainian military intelligence claimed Russian forces destroyed the Nova Kakhovka dam in panic.
 
But the Kremlin denied involvement and accused Ukraine of deliberate sabotage.
 
The dam is a critical piece of infrastructure as it supplies water for much of southeastern Ukraine, including the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula.
