Huge waves of water could be seen flooding the war zone after a Soviet-era dam and hydroelectric power station in Ukraine was blown up.
Mass evacuations forced residents out of their homes amid fears of widespread flood devastation. President Zelensky said the attack on the critical Kakhovka dam was carried out by Russia. Ukraine described it as an act of “ecocide.”
Video from what appeared to be a monitoring camera purported to show a number of explosions around the dam, which is in a Russian-controlled section of eastern Ukraine, while other clips show the water cascading downstream through what was left of the two-mile long barrier.
