Oleksandr Vilkul, the head of the city's military administration, said this on Facebook.

According to him, the liquidation of the consequences of the missile attack by the Russian troops is now underway. They damaged the dam of the Karachunske Reservoir, as a result of which water flows into the Inhulets River.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on Wednesday, September 14, the Russian occupying army launched a missile attack on Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Region.

The occupiers fired eight cruise missiles at the city. As a result, hydrotechnical structures on the Inhulets River were damaged.

Later, Adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko reported on the damage to the dam of the Karachunske Reservoir.

As a result of the damage, up to 100 cubic meters of water flow into the Inhulets River every second, which led to an increase in the water level in the river.
