Maxar Technologies has released the latest satellite imagery of the Kakhovka HPP destroyed by Russian troops.

The photos show the dam destroyed by the Russian occupiers and the flooded surroundings.

One of the pictures also shows the Nibulon river terminal in the urban-type village of Kozatske, not far from the blown-up hydroelectric power plant.

Earlier, the terminal was completely flooded, but the latest satellite images indicate that the water level has begun to decrease.

As reported, on the night of June 6, Russian troops blew up the dam of the Kakhovka HPP, causing large-scale flooding of the territories of Kherson region. Part of Mykolaiv region was also affected by flooding. In Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions, the water level in the Dnipro River has decreased.
