The photo published by Schemes shows the destroyed dam and the Nibulon river terminal in the village of Kazatskoye, not far from the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. The grain terminal was also flooded, but the water had already receded.
Recall that the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which is under the control of Russian troops, was destroyed on the night of June 6.
It was an explosion, seismographs in different European countries recorded activity characteristic of a powerful explosion. After the destruction of the dam, the waters of the Kakhovka reservoir flooded large areas downstream of the Dnieper, the reservoir itself became sharply shallow.
Dozens of settlements and tens of thousands of residents on both banks of the river were in the flood zone, the occupied right was especially heavily flooded. The disaster dealt a huge blow to the economy of Ukraine and the ecology of the south of the country and the Black Sea.
