As Ukrinform reported earlier, on the night of June 6, the Russian occupation forces blew up the Kakhovka HPP dam, which caused a major flood downstream of the Dnipro.

In the flooded Oleshky community, water has forced some locals to their roofs where they are awaiting evacuation, with no supply of water and food. Another major issue is flooded cemeteries and de-energized morgues.
