Russian forces have shelled a southern Ukrainian city inundated by flooding in a catastrophic dam collapse, Ukrainian officials said, forcing a suspension

Urkainians face new hardships from the busting of the Kakhovka dam, including floods, food shortages, disease, and floating land mines.

Ukraine officials have reported fierce fighting on the front lines after the military launched its long-anticipated counteroffensive. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that “very tough battles” are raging in the eastern Donetsk region, “but there is a result.”

Iran is providing Russia with materials to build a drone manufacturing plant east of Moscow as the Kremlin looks to lock in a steady supply of weaponry for its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, according to a U.S. intelligence finding.

A Norwegian organization says that two seismic networks it oversees saw an explosion at the war-torn Kakhovka dam in Ukraine around the time it failed.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that international aid groups must take immediate action to tackle the aftermath of the destruction of a hydropower dam in Ukraine and any group not on the spot helping was simply incapable.

KYIV: Flooding from the Kakhovka dam breach extends over 600 square kilometres on the Ukrainian-held right bank of the Dnipro River and the Russian-held left bank, the region's governor said on Thursday.

The Kakhovka dam explosion has flooded areas under Russian control, causing heavy losses as the Ukrainian counteroffensive gathers momentum.

Amid his lambasting of the international community for a perceived lack of aid in the wake of the Kakhovka dam collapse, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian soldiers have shot at rescuers trying to help civilians in heavily flooded areas.

The state emergency service of Ukraine said 1,995 people had been evacuated from flooded areas, including 103 children. Many more have fled of their own accord.
