 A torrent of water burst through a gaping hole in a dam on the Denepro River that separates Russian and Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine on June 6, flooding a swath of the war zone and forcing villagers to flee. Video obtained by Reuters showed dam building partially submerged in water. Ukraine accused Russia of blowing up the dam from the inside in a deliberate war crime. Russian install officials gave conflicting accounts, some blaming Ukrainian shelling, others saying the dam had burst on its own. The Nova Kokovka Dam supplies water to Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula and the Zaporizhya nuclear plant, both under Russian control. The vast reservoir behind it is one of the main geographic features of southern Ukraine, 240 km long and up to 23 km wide. A swath of countryside lies in the flood plain below. That's all for today.
