In the Kherson Region, the water level in the Dnieper has returned to its natural riverbad after the Russians blew up the Kakhovka HEPP. Now the level fluctuations correspond to the natural fluctuations of this time of year. This is reported by the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SESU).
"As of 09:00 a.m., the water level in the Dnieper River near the Kherson post has returned to its natural riverbad, the fluctuations in the level correspond to the natural fluctuations of this time of year," the message says.
Two settlements (two houses) on the right bank of the Dnieper and 17 settlements in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson Region remain flooded.
Work on pumping out water is ongoing. Over the past day, 72,000 tons of water were pumped out of 56 basements. Since the beginning of the works, more than 373,008 tons of water have been pumped out of 923 houses and basements.
