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.
