The State Emergency Service of Ukraine has announced that 11 out of the 28 Spans on the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant alongside the Turbine and Generator Building in the City of Nova Kakhovka were Destroyed earlier today with at least 80 Settlements which are Downstream from the Dam now beginning to Flood with “Critical Levels” expected in the next 4-5 hours.

Flooding has already been Observed in some Settlements along the River including in the “Korabel” Microdistrict in the City of Kherson which is already suffering Power and Gas Outages as a result of the Disaster.
Ukrainian Energy Officials have also stated that there is a “High Risk” to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant which uses the Dnipro River for Water-Cooling meaning if the Water in the River gets low enough due to the Dam Breach there could be Severe Issues at the Plant.
