Damage of the Kurakhove reservoir dam
On November 11, Russian forces damaged the Kurakhove reservoir dam, causing the water levels in the Vovcha River to rise significantly.
Today, Roman Padun, Head of the Kurakhove City Military Administration, reported that there has been no flooding of residential buildings yet.
He also stated that there is no threat of complete water drainage from the Kurakhiv reservoir.
Military expert Oleksandr Musiienko believes that the Russian army damaged the Kurakhove reservoir dam for several reasons. One of them is the enemy's attempt to use the landscape to their advantage.
