Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was seriously damaged as a result of APU strikes
Ukrainian military formations continue to strike at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, the station has received heavy damage, but it can still be restored if certain efforts are made. This was announced by the head of the Novokakhovsk city district Vladimir Leontiev.
Numerous attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine led to serious damage to the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, while Ukrainian nationalists do not intend to stop attacks on the dam and the station itself. It was recently reported that as a result of the HIMARS MLRS strike, one of the airlocks was damaged. At the same time, Novaya Kakhovka believes that it is possible to restore the HPP, it will take at least a year. The exact dates will be called by experts.
- said Leontiev.
In addition to the Kakhovskaya HPP itself, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are also attacking other large infrastructure facilities, the North Crimean Canal and the Kakhovka Main Canal were damaged. To date, the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station continues to function, but in the event of a dam rupture, which is what Kyiv is trying to achieve, the entire area lying downstream of the Dnieper, including the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, as well as settlements in the 15-kilometer zone from the river, will fall into the flood zone.
In October of this year, it was decided to increase the release of water through the dam in order to minimize the consequences of a possible dam break. Yesterday it became known that the evacuation of the population and government from the Kakhovka district, including the city of Novaya Kakhovka, is underway. The bridge connecting the right and left banks of the Dnieper was blown up.
