Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant across Dnipro River, occupied by Russian forces, was destroyed on morning of June 6, sparking a large-scale humanitarian and environmental disaster

Ukraine's Southern Operational reported early in the morning that Russian forces blew up the dam.
Video footage spread on social media clearly shows major breach in the section of the dam closest to Russian-occupied eastern bank of the river. As to a resident of a nearby settlement cited by Ukrainska Pravda, there was a single explosion, after then dam "collapsed like a house of cards."
Ukraine's national police called for residents of 10 villages alongside the bank of the Dnipro River to evacuate, as well as part of Kherson city itself.
In the hours after the explosion, floodwaters quickly began to hit settlements downstream from the dam. At 9 a.m., Kherson Oblast Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported that the villages of Tiahinka, Lvove, Odradokamianka, Ivanivka, Mykilske, Tokarivka, Poniativka, Bilozerka, and the Ostriv district in Kherson were "fully or partially flooded."

The State Emergency Service urged civilians in Kherson Oblast to remain vigilant of landmines dislodged by flooding after Russian forces blew up the dam.
Other areas can lose their main water supply for a very long time. This includes occupied Crimea, which relied on rerouted water from the Dnipro through the reservoir. This will wreck large tracts of agriculture on the mainland and the peninsula.
For example, vegetable growers in the region will lose 20,000 hectares of productive land, according to agricultural consulting firm Agroanalysis. Its director, Vadym Dudka, said that this pushed back the restoration of Kherson Oblast's vegetable production by five years.
It will also force important industries, like metallurgical plants, to grind to a halt in multiple cities because they need uninterrupted access to water.
