Talk:Khakovka Dam collapse

Reported comments from Putin
Putin - about the explosion of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station:

''I will say a strange thing, unfortunately, this thwarted their counteroffensive in this area. Unfortunately, why? Because it would be better if they were advancing there. It's better for us, because it would be very bad for them to attack there. But since such a spill occurred, the offensive did not take place.'' Source

To do

 * Confirm residents Telegram channel comments from the night
 * Since the morning of June 6, people began to report hearing explosions in a local Telegram channel about Nova Kakhovka with over five thousand participants. Some had lost their water supply, and some had already suggested that the dam might have burst.


 * Residents argued among themselves, some claiming that if the dam had exploded, all services – including Ukraine’s State Emegerncy Service (DSNS) – would have alerted them. One resident wrote in Ukrainian at 2:45 Moscow time that he saw a flare.


 * “The water is very noisy ... very loud, I've never heard such a thing. I'm scared of something... The flares are orange flares.”


 * Resident Lydia Kuznetsova responded: “But that's water, but why is it so loud? We can be without light again with these booms.”


 * Several dozen people commented that they could not sleep because of the noise, and were worried that something had happened. However, other residents reassured them and claimed that they did not see a “global flood,” did not hear explosions, and asked them not to cause panic.''
