The Ukrainian authorities alerted residents of the Kurákhov water reservoir area, in the eastern Donetsk regionabout the risk of flooding after Russian troops allegedly damaged that infrastructure.
«The Russians damaged the Kurájove dam. The impact poses a potential threat to residents in the towns of the Vovcha River, both in the Donetsk and Dnipro regions,” explained the governor of Donetsk, Vadim Filáshkin.

According to the official, the river level increased up to 1.2 meters in a section near the dam. So far, no consequences have been reported for residents’ homes, according to the governor.
The destruction of the Kakhovka dam in June 2023, located on the Russian-occupied bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine, caused dozens of deaths, thousands of displaced people and serious material damage, as well as consequences for agriculture and the environment of the area.
