On the territory of the DPR controlled by Kyiv, the Karlovskaya dam was blown up, through which the Armed Forces of Ukraine were supplied in the Donetsk direction

On the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic occupied by Ukrainian troops, the dam of the Karlovsky reservoir was blown up, the water threatens to flood the villages of Galitsinovka, Zhelannoye-1 and Zhelannoye-2 controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainian resources report about the explosion.

Karlovskoye Reservoir is located on the Volcha River, 40 km from Donetsk. The reservoir dam is of great military importance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is one of the ways to supply the Ukrainian army grouping in the Donetsk direction, its destruction seriously complicates the delivery of reserves and ammunition. In addition to damaging the track, the explosion will also lead to spillage and flooding of some prepared positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of several settlements.

The Ukrainian side blames the Russian army for blowing up the dam, it is stated that it was damaged during the shelling of Karlovka by Russian artillery. This statement was made by the head of the Kyiv-controlled Donetsk Regional Military Administration Pavel Kirilenko.

Since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, the Russian occupying army has been constantly shelling Karlovka, striking precisely at the dam

- said Kirilenko.

At the moment, ours do not confirm the destruction of the dam, but they do not deny it either, there are no official reports on this topic, only one publication news resources.

Air conditioning again ... They will put them where they don’t get, and then they blame Russia.

[Tatyana]

From the conversation of the Armed Forces guarding the dam, it is said that the dam of the Karlovsky reservoir was - in addition to everything else - MINED by the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with 4 TONS of explosives.
In other words. Command of the Armed Forces - during the retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the onslaught of the Russian Armed Forces - it was definitely going to blow up this dam of the Karpovsky reservoir after itself!

So, the Bandera people themselves were blown up! So they need it!

[Carlos Hall]

Very good news, destroy all Ukrainian infrastructure

[dmi.pris1]

Here are the "accusers" ..! There is a war, and here all means are good for the sake of Victory.

And what were you waiting for? Anyway, they will blame us .... There is a result for our command, and the rest ....

Maybe now, after the capture of Artyomovsk, some kind of movement is planned in this direction and undermining the dam will complicate the logistics of the banderlogs, and if they had worked it out earlier, they would have managed to establish supplies bypassing, or by pontoons. There is such a thing as operational expediency.

In the Kherson region, Russian units are resisting attempts to break through the defense. Enemy plans are calculated using reconnaissance drones. After that, our artillery works on the clusters of equipment. Among the guns is a multiple launch rocket launcher, which was invented right on the front line.
“The soldiers themselves made the installation on the basis of the pipe from RZSO Grad. The installation works reliably,” says a military commissar who visited the tests of the new installation.

First of all, she's not a jerk. Shoots single.
Secondly, the men themselves may have screwed up, but this is nothing more than 1:1

9P132 "Grad-P" ("Partizan") - Soviet portable rocket launcher. Developed at the request of the government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the 1960s. The main purpose of the 9P132 installation is the use of partisan troops against manpower, fire weapons and enemy equipment, where the use of conventional artillery systems is difficult.

it is stated that it was damaged during the shelling of Karlovka by Russian artillery

but was it possible

[alystan]

Ukrainian resources report about the explosion.
The Ukrainian side accuses the Russian army of undermining the dam...

What else is left for them to do? Do not attribute yourself to authorship in what you have done?

At the moment, our people do not confirm the destruction of the dam, but they do not deny it either, there are no official reports on this topic, only one publication of news resources.

I wonder why they are silent or do not want to disclose plans?
At the same time, the following message appeared on the Readovka telegram channel, citing a source:

In the Kherson region, there is a transfer of equipment of the RF Armed Forces towards the line of contact and, according to available information the Russian military is preparing for the intensification of hostilities by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in connection with which they begin to strengthen their positions and increase their firepower in the southern direction.

And if so, it turns out that the enemy in this case is not lying, he desperately needs a dam, and its destruction is more in the hands of our military.
But it is not entirely clear, in this case, why our troops are mostly only defending all the time? And when they go forward, they encounter incredible difficulties, as recently in Artemovsk and still in Avdiivka. About the deep-echeloned system of defensive fortifications built here and there in the course. Why was it impossible to bypass these two points and go further, leaving them in a dense siege and under no less dense all-round fire. I think even such impregnable bastions would not have survived for a long time.

I am not an expert in military tactics and strategy, and only the professional army was not strong in this, unlike the same Wagner PMC (?!)
I just expressed my thoughts and questions aloud to the sore ...

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

Looking at the map, the detour of this dam is not much further. So many roads were made in Soviet times that in Russia one can only envy such a network. There still needs to be eliminated one bridge nearby, and preferably two, so that it would be quite far to travel to Pervomaisky. Maybe we should when they are zhahnut?

[alexoff]

The main thing here is that this should be agreed with other branches of the military, and not like with the Krivoy Rog dam, which was broken, but no one even tried to drown the troops cut off by the river from the supply

[Maks1995]

Wah! But there were so many horror stories that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would blow up some kind of dam and wash away some city.
It screeched and quieted down.

Well, in general, the matter of life

[Mikhail Ivanov]

This is the deep rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It took a long time to break it all down. In the current war, we must act not just harshly, but very cruelly.

[Dkuznecov]

They write - secondary detonation during shelling,
the dam was mined "just in case".

[garik77]

There is a video in the cart. Flows well. It is not clear just what will flood.

[AlexWar]

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have bridgelayers. If the dam is short, they will build a bridge

[Bingo]

The bottom line is that such a dump with a howitzer projectile or Geranka can’t be picked up))) Apparently, it’s really possible to undermine a landmine laid by the Armed Forces of Ukraine) wrap up

[terms]

It was necessary for Peskov to express decisive concern in the spirit of "Ludwig Aristarkhovich" =))) "Ahtoetosdeeeelal, ayayayay"))) At least somewhere it would be appropriate))))

[Ezekiel 25-17]

The destruction of the enemy's communications, further on the Karlovskaya dam, was done according to ius belli.

[Black Colonel]

It's like a detective - look for who benefits from it.

[whitepike]

21 km from Donetsk to Karlovka, the author should not repeat Wikipedia where the error is, but draw a scale bar on the map.

[solar]

Judging by the photo, it was not the dam that was blown up, but the water lock, the damper that regulates the discharge of water - the side walls of the discharge channel are visible in the photo, so the dam does not erode further and the width of the discharge does not increase. I don’t think it’s difficult to fill up with a pair of KAMAZ trucks with granite or concrete blocks.

[Reader 2013]

Absolutely agree as a hydraulic engineer

[Reader 2013]

If this is a real photo, then such a weir will not flood anything, just the maximum discharge of water destroyed the damper and the difference is small between the pools, the maximum estimated flow will flow, which, apparently, is not very large
How is communication, well, it’s good that they destroyed it
