#BREAKING: The Nova Kakhovka Dam has been destroyed. The consequences of this are going to be drastic and grave. "It would be impossible to supply water to Crimea via the North Crimea Canal" - Head of Nova Kakhovka district. #ukraine #russia #novakakhovka #dam #crimea
A map below shows potential flooding consequences down stream of the dam. 80 towns, villages and cities are in danger of being under water in the coming hours. It is unclear who struck the dam at this time. This also drastically reduces water supply to Crimea. #russia #UkraineWar Image
‼️☢️Article of Zelensky talking about Russia staging a "false flag" on the Nova Kakhovka dam. He states that it could endanger the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant by draining the reservoir it uses to cool. This is a global crisis unfolding. #ukrainewar

"Major General Kovalchuk considered flooding the dnipro river. The Ukrainians .. even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates, but the step remained a last resort. He held off." I guess we reached Kiev's last resort phase.

Water in the Kakhovka Reservoir has been steadily rising in the past few months putting strain on the dam. There was no reports of explosions or booms in the area of the dam leading up to it's destruction. Leading theory is water pressure destroyed the dam

Tass: The dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station in the Kherson region has collapsed due to damage, the territory is being flooded. - So its confirmed, it was destroyed by rising water levels and previous damage sustained by Ukrainian shelling. #dam #ukraine #crimea
This video from last fall shows a Ukrainian strike on the dam that damaged it extensively. Article shows the mayor saying that they cannot effectively regulate the water due to damaged gates. Recent readings showed water 17m above normal in the reservoir. tass.com/emergencies/16…
Chart shows days leading up to dam failure. The water was rising to historic levels in the reservoir and previous Ukrainian shelling rendered the dam unable to cope with such strain leading to a structural failure. Note, no explosions or booms were recorded by locals. #ukraine Image
New satellite imagery shows a portion of road on the dam collapsed during the day before the destruction. Likely rising water eating away at structure with previous shelling damage from Ukraine. Further evidence shows water strain destroying the dam. #dam #ukrainewar #crimea Image
📹MEDIA: More detailed and close up footage being released of the remains of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. No evidence of fire and explosive damage or debris anywhere. #dam #ukraine #crimea #russia
Summary:
- Kakhovka Dam collapsed
- No reports of explosions when it was destroyed
- Water was at the highest level recorded at the Reservoir causing strain on already damaged dam
- Ukraine in the past targeted the dam with artillery and HIMARS causing damage.

🚨⚡️Official reports regarding the large explosion heard in the Washington D.C. metro area and miles beyond in the past hour are claiming it was an authorized Pentagon flight producing a sonic boom according to officials. I have my doubts. #sonicboom #WashingtonDC
MORE: The FAA also commented that a private jet (Flight: N611VG, Cessna Citation C560) has crashed today and flew over Washington D.C. causing the Pentagon to scramble intercepting flights. Very peculiar. Will continue reporting in this thread as more info becomes available. Image
The plane that violated DC airspace is owned by Barbara Rumpel, former member of Donald Trump's Second Amendment Coalition. According to the FAA the plane was registered a little over a month ago. It is unclear if she was a passenger. #washingtonDC #sonicboom ImageImage

📷Images from earlier today show soot and thermal damage from the side of the GUR building facing the central parking area. Images are taken at the following coordinates:

📍 50.4695, 30.5242

With only thermal damage visible it seems the warhead may have been a bunker buster. ImageImageImage
🔥At 05:28 Kiev time on the morning of the 28th, seismographic instruments located almost 100km away picked up on a violent unnatural disturbance. There were reports from residents that they felt shaking and earthquake reports flooded various websites.
