Russia Destroys Kurakhove Reservoir Dam, Flooding Villages
Russian forces shelled Kurakhove in the Donetsk region on November 11th, resulting in the destruction of the Stari Terny dam of the Kurakhove reservoir. This has caused the Vovcha River to rise by one meter, flooding nearby villages and potentially threatening settlements downstream. The extent of the damage to the dam remains unclear due to ongoing Russian shelling, but there is evidence that water is reaching settlements in the Velykonovosilkivska community. The Kurakhove sector remains a heavily contested area, with Russian forces attempting to advance daily, highlighting the ongoing danger and vulnerability of the region.
