🌊It is reported about the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station blown up by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
More than 80 settlements, including Kherson, will be in the zone of rapid flooding. Hundreds of thousands of people could be affected.
The water supply to a significant part of the south of Ukraine may be destroyed. The destruction of the HPP could leave the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant without water for cooling.
In addition, the destruction of the Kakhovskaya dam will exclude the possibility of supplying water to Crimea in the coming years.
Top and down picture is the difference that can make in the water level after the dam was blown up

— "If anyone dares to separate Taiwan from China, the Chinese military will not hesitate for a second, Chinese State Councilor and Minister of National Defense Li Shangfu said at the 20th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Sunday, whilst reiterating that China must be and will be reunified.
He also urged the US to act with sincerity, match its words with deeds and take concrete actions to work with China in the same direction to stabilize the relationship between two armies.
In his speech noscriptd "China's New Security Initiatives," Li said that the Taiwan question is the core of China's core interests and is an internal affair of China; any act to obscure or hollow out the one China principle is both absurd and dangerous."

"No one knows who destroyed it: Ukrainian analysts are saying Russia did it while Russians say it was the Ukrainians. However, the destruction did appear to come not long after a new wave of Russian cruise missile attacks launched by 6 Tu-95 bombers. Could Russia have destroyed the dam just as Ukraine began to kick off its large offensive, particularly since, as I wrote earlier, there were reports that Ukraine was trying to actualize a river crossing there?
"It’s undecided who benefits and to whom it’s a detriment, as some believe that all Russian defenses on the eastern bank will be wiped away by the flood. However, the expanded river boundaries and elevated water levels would preclude Ukrainian crossing attempts, so it clearly seems to favor Russia there. We’ll have to wait and see how it develops as this is just breaking now, no pun intended."

"Franklin began to advocate lightning rods with sharp points. Conversely, his English colleagues favored blunt-tipped lightning rods, reasoning that sharp ones attracted lightning and increased the risk of strikes; they thought blunt rods were less likely to be struck. King George III had his palace equipped with blunt lightning rods. When it came time to protect the buildings in the English American colonies’ buildings with lightning rods, the decision became a political statement. The pointed lightning rod expressed support for Franklin’s theories of protecting public buildings and the rejection of theories of blunt iron rods supported by the King. The English thought this was just another example of the flourishing American colonies being disobedient to the British crown."

Nordstream, revisited? Ukraine says Russia blew up a dam, cutting off water to Crimea and endangering a nuclear power plant. 🤔
AP News- The wall of a major dam in a part of southern Ukraine that Russia controls collapsed Tuesday after a reported explosion, sending water gushing downriver and prompting dire warnings of ecological disaster as both sides in the war ordered residents to evacuate.
