<p>A major dam was destroyed early Tuesday morning local time in Russian-occupied territory in southern Ukraine.</p>
<p>Over 15,000 residents downstream of the Kakhovka dam were being evacuated as officials warned that the rising water levels would hit a critical point in just a few hours.</p>
<p>Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-says-russia-blows-up-major-nova-kakhovka-dam-southern-ukraine-2023-06-06/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the 2-mile-long dam holds the same amount of water as the Great Salt Lake in Utah and was built nearly seven decades ago as part of a hydroelectric power plant on the Dnipro River.</p>
<p>Ukraine accused Russia of blowing up the dam while Russian officials suggested that it was a Ukrainian terrorist attack.</p>
<p>&#8220;Russian terrorists,&#8221; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed on Twitter. &#8220;The destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam only confirms for the whole world that they must be expelled from every corner of Ukrainian land. Not a single meter should be left to them, because they use every meter for terror. It’s only Ukraine&#8217;s victory that will return security. And this victory will come. The terrorists will not be able to stop Ukraine with water, missiles or anything else.&#8221;</p>

<p>The New York Times spoke with experts who <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/06/06/world/russia-ukraine-news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the destruction caused by the dam&#8217;s demolition could be &#8220;catastrophic&#8221; for &#8220;communities, irrigation and transportation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The International Atomic Energy Agency said that it was monitoring the nearby Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which gets the water that it needs to stay cool from the reservoir.</p>
