As Ukraine launches a counterattack once morest Russia, this time a huge dam in southern Ukraine has been blown up by shells.
Ukraine and Russia each claimed terrorism perpetrated by the other.
Reporter Kim Tae-yoon reports.
◀ Report ▶
The Kahouka Dam is located in southern Ukraine.
The upper part of the dam is badly broken, and the river flows through it in white spray.
On the night of the 6th local time, the upper part of the Kahouka Dam, which is occupied by Russia, was hit by a shell.
Ukrainian authorities said 16,000 people downstream were at risk from a dam explosion.
Both countries are claiming each other’s responsibility for the dam bombing.
Ukrainian President Zelensky immediately called an emergency meeting of the National Security Council and condemned Russia.
Ukraine claimed that Russia blew it up to benefit the war, saying it was “environmental genocide” and endangered the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant near the dam.
However, the Russian side immediately replied that ″a dam controlled by the Russian army was destroyed″ and that it was a ″terrorist attack by Ukraine″.
First of all, the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant is known to be safe.
However, there are concerns that if another part of the dam is destroyed, as in the lock gate of Kahouka Dam, where the explosion situation was filmed in real time in November last year, the damage to the residents downstream will be very great.
The two sides are saying completely different things regarding the engagement in the southern and eastern regions, which seem to be the prelude to a great counteroffensive.
The Russian Ministry of Defense today claimed the destruction of 28 Ukrainian tanks, including eight German tanks, in the Donetsk region of southern Ukraine.
It also said that the total losses of the Ukrainian armed forces exceeded 1,500 people.
However, a spokesperson for Ukraine countered that “we do not have such information and do not comment on fake news of any kind.”
Prigozin, the head of the Wagner group of mercenaries on the Russian side, also denied the Russian side, saying that the claim that the Ukrainian offensive was repulsed for two days in a row was “science fiction.”
Prigozhin criticizes the Russian authorities for not supplying Wagner’s mercenaries during the recapture of Bahmut.

Vienna (OTS) – “We call on all affected workers to get in touch with their responsible union and not to sign anything without advice from the vida union,” comments Christine Heitzinger, Chair of the Services department in the vida union, on the rumored “extensive and far-reaching restructuring”. through the takeover of the branches of Kika/Leiner by the Graz company Supernova.
“There is a lot of uncertainty among the employees. As a trade union, we stand by your side with support,” Heitzinger continued, emphasizing that delaying the employees – as suggested by the company – is completely unacceptable. “It needs clarity as soon as possible,” demands unionist Heitzinger. It is a debacle that employees have to fear for their jobs once more shortly following the supposed rescue by Benko. “Benko earned it, the workforce was deceived by Kurz and the government at the time and is now also disappointed,” says Heitzinger, criticizing the approach.
According to current information, 23 branches are threatened with closure – plus central warehouses. “If the plans are implemented in this way, it can be assumed that hundreds will lose their jobs,” says Heitzinger, emphasizing that unsettled workers should contact the vida union immediately (e-mail address: dienstleistungen@vida.at). Furthermore, vida trade unionist Heitzinger calls on the government to keep its promises and to preserve jobs.
