The explosion that the Russians staged at the Kakhovska HPP completely destroyed the engine room from the inside. Now the station cannot be restored.
This was reported by the press service of Ukrhydroenergo.
"As a result of the explosion of the engine room from the inside, the Kakhovska HPP was completely destroyed. The station cannot be restored. According to the preliminary forecast, the reservoir is expected to be operational within the next 4 days," the message said.
Specialists continue to assess the scale of the destruction and try to determine how much water will leak. As of the morning of June 6, the water level in the Kakhovskyi reservoir is rapidly decreasing.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on the night of June 6, the Russians undermined the Kakhovska HPP. The Kherson City Council announced that evacuation by buses will be carried out from Kherson districts and villages where flooding is occurring.
Nataliya Humeniuk, head of the Joint Coordination Press Center of the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine, says that the Kakhovska HPP was undermined in order to put pressure on Ukraine and provoke a certain situation.
In Kherson, the power supply was turned off in the Korabel neighborhood due to flooding caused by the Russians blowing up the Kakhovska HPP.
