Kherson, a city in Ukraine, has been flooded due to the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, which was controlled by Russian troops. The dam broke, and the plant and the dam were destroyed, causing water levels in the Kakhovka Reservoir to drop rapidly and flood the surrounding areas. Rescuers, police officers, military personnel, journalists, and volunteers are working to rescue people and pets trapped by the floodwaters. The flood has also raised landmines, posing a new threat to rescue operations.
