According to Prokudin, 1,852 houses in right-bank Kherson region have already been flooded since the Kakhovka hydropower plant was blown up in the morning.

During the night, no emergency events were recorded. The intensity of flooding is decreasing. However, due to the significant destruction of the dam, the water will still arrive.
