As of the morning of June 7, 1,852 houses on the right bank of the Kherson region were flooded due to the Russian explosion of the Kakhovka HPP. The flooding intensity is decreasing, but water is still coming.

Kherson Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reports this.

According to local authorities, the water level will increase by another metre over the next 20 hours. At night, the Bilozerka community started getting flooded.

1,457 people were evacuated, most of them from the Korabel neighbourhood of Kherson.

At night, 13 people called for help, five of whom were residents of the temporarily occupied territories.

It will be recalled that scientists say that the flooded area caused by the Russian troops' blowing up the Kakhovka HPP dam is about 100 square kilometres. The water is expected to rise and stay up for a week. Draining the Kakhovka reservoir will cause the most devastating consequences.
