– At the impact site we see a water flow of 100 cubic meters per second, which is a large volume, says the deputy chief of staff to President Volodymyr Zelenskyj on Wednesday evening. Kyrylo Tymoshenko first announced the attack on the dam on the messaging service Telegram, reports the news agency AP. Eight cruise missiles targeting the water supply hit the town, which is 15 miles southwest of Dnipro. This has led to rapidly rising water levels and major flooding in the river Inhulets. – They don’t care if people lose water or if the city is flooded. They want to create panic among us, so that it will be more difficult to make decisions, says Tymoshenko, according to the online newspaper Ukrinform. The verification service Actually Verifiable has examined video material and confirms on Wednesday evening that there has been a Russian missile attack against a dam facility at Kryvyi Rih. They say videos shared on Telegram and Twitter show extensive damage to the dam. Large amounts of water rush down the valley, which has led to rapidly rising water levels and massive flooding in the river Inhulets. There have been reports that bridges have been swept away by the water bodies, but there were no reports of deaths or injuries following the flood on Wednesday evening.
