The British Ministry of Defense reports on Twitter.
In its daily report, British intelligence draws attention to the fact that Kakhovska Dam in Kherson region is one of the two main roads for crossing the lower reaches of Dnipro river. On November 11, it suffered significant damage due to destruction by Russian troops during the retreat from Kherson. Probably, this was done in order to prevent future Ukrainian offensive.
Three spans of road and rail bridges at the north end of the dam were destroyed, making traffic impossible. However, three floodgates below this section of the dam remained largely undamaged. Current level of damage is unlikely to lead to serious flooding downstream", UK intelligence concluded.
