Similar Stories to Collapse Of Major Dam In Southern Ukraine Triggers Emergency As Moscow And Kyiv Trade Blame on Bing News

By VASILISA STEPANENKO and SUSIE BLANN (Associated Press) KHERSON, Ukraine (AP) — A major dam in southern Ukraine collapsed Tuesday, flooding villages, endangering crops in the country’s breadbasket and threatening drinking water supplies as both sides in the war scrambled to evacuate residents and blamed each other for the destruction. Ukraine accused Russian forces of blowing up the Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric power station, built in the 1950s on the Dnieper River in an area that Moscow has controlled for more than a year, while Russian officials blamed Ukrainian bombardment in the contested area.
