Hospitals and utilities of the regional center are on alert. The Korabel microdistrict was de-energized for safety reasons. In a few hours, the gas supply will also be turned off. And the head of the city military administration, Roman Mrochko, has already announced the evacuation. He announced this on Telegram.
The Kherson regional military administration reported that the water level is rising, and those who are in the flood zone should rise to the area located above the Dnieper and Koshevoy.
The head of the Kherson Regional Council, Oleksandr Samoylenko, said on the air of the telethon that the water has already passed half the way, and a critically high level is expected around 11.00. Now Tyaginka is partially flooded, which is located halfway to Kherson. The authorities are also preparing for the flooding of the Ostrov microdistrict.
In addition, Samoylenko noted that, first of all, residents of the settlements of Beryslav and Kherson regions, which are located in the lower reaches of the Dnieper and Ingulets rivers, will be evacuated.
Recall that the president’s office stated that the undermining of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station could lead to the destruction of settlements and the biosphere, and the occupied Crimea would be left without water. In addition, there are risks for ZNPP due to possible problems with water-cooled reactors.
