The Devastation and Responsibility of the Kakhovka Dam Disaster.

TL;DR Summary
Exclusive drone footage shows the collapsed Kakhovka dam in Ukraine, which was under Russian occupation, and the surrounding villages submerged underwater with no signs of life. The buildings did not show damage typical of a bomb, and experts have said the structure was in disrepair, which could have led to its collapse. The Dnieper River forms part of the front line in the war, and many people had already fled the area because of the fighting. The collapse of the dam has irrevocably changed the landscape downstream and shifted the dynamic of the 15-month-old war.
