The destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine has caused the draining of one of Europe's largest reservoirs, revealing submerged military objects that offer a reminder of wars past and present on Ukrainian soil. The water level at the location had fallen by around four metres, exposing remnants of S-300 rockets, Smerch rockets, and munitions from World War Two. The reservoir has lost nearly three-quarters of its volume, and evidence is growing that there was an explosion at the dam around the time it collapsed, according to Ukrainian and U.S. intelligence reports and seismic data from Norway.
