New York Times: Ukrainians have become used to shelling, but this is something else.
With Russia and Ukraine blaming each other for the collapse of the Kakhovka dam, experts say that an external attack or even structural failure might explain the disaster, but that it is not likely.
As rescue efforts plucked people from rooftops, and offered fresh water and shelter, Turkey’s president called for an international investigation into what caused a dam to fail.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said a major Ukrainian operation had begun in the Donetsk region. Ukrainian officials did not immediately comment.
They were among three people killed in a Russian missile attack, officials said. Ukraine opened an investigation, as Russians described shelling and evacuations in border regions.
