Fatal Flood in Ukraine: Kahovka Dam Strikes and Kills 6 People
The aftermath of the explosion of the Kahovka Dam in Ukraine continues to affect the Kherson and Mykolayiv regions. In a statement released by the Ministry, a total of 46 settlements in the Kherson region are still flooded, with 2,718 people, including 190 children, having been evacuated. Tragically, five people have lost their lives, and the fate of 35 people, including seven children, remains unknown.
In the neighboring Mykolayiv region, 31 settlements have also been affected, and 982 people, 167 of whom were children, were evacuated, with one casualty reported. Although the water level in the Dnipro River is decreasing, the people affected by the flooding are still struggling to cope with the devastating aftermath of the disaster.
However, there is a glimmer of hope, as the water level at the Kahovka Dam has decreased to 7.4 meters, according to a statement by the Ukraine Emergency Service. It is essential to continue to monitor the situation closely and provide assistance to those affected by the disaster. Our thoughts are with those affected, and we hope that they can recover from this tragedy soon.
