“All the living creatures, and people will be flooded out,” he added, gesturing at nearby houses and gardens.
Locals blamed Russia for blowing up the dam as water poured into the southern city from the mighty Dnipro River, flowing down roads and covering low-lying fields.“We’re afraid of flooding. We’re taking our things a little higher up,” said one woman, Ms Lyudmyla, standing outside her house next to a trailer containing her belongings and a washing machine.
Clutching her mobile phone, she angrily called for Russian forces to be “kicked out of here... they’re shooting at us. There they’re flooding us or doing something else.” Locals stood staring down at the brown water from a road bridge built high enough to allow cargo ships to pass under it as water already lapped around warehouses on the bank.“The water has risen a good deal,” he added.
“The flood is coming. You can really see it in front of your eyes,” said another Kherson resident, Mr Viktor, standing on a raised railway line with a view of the river. “What will happen next, no one knows.”A handout photo showing damage at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Dam at Nova Kakhovka, near Kherson.
