Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of breaking the dam that supplies water to Crimea
Both Russia and Ukraine claim the other used a bomb to destroy a huge dam that supplies water to Crimea, which Moscow annexed in 2014.
Some areas of southern Ukraine have already experienced catastrophic floods as a result of the dam failing.
The Ukrainian military said on Tuesday morning that the Russian forces had destroyed the 1956-built dam on the Dnipro River in the Kherson area.
The 30-meter-high and 3.2-kilometer-wide dam was the target of bombings, as seen in certain social media videos.
Sources claim that the dam also provides water to the now-Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power facility in addition to Crimea.
This occurs as Russia claims to have stopped an onslaught on its troops in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, which it claims resulted in the deaths of over a thousand men and the destruction of at least 100 of their tanks.
On Monday night, sources claimed that Russia attacked Kyiv with airstrikes, but Ukraine said that its air defense systems shot down more than 20 missiles before they could reach the city. of her.
