Dam explosion in Ukraine raises global concerns.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has vowed to continue military plans to retake territory from occupying Russian forces despite the collapse of the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine, which he described as an act of “mass environmental destruction” by Russia. The Kremlin blamed Ukraine for the dam’s collapse, while Zelenskyy said it was blown up to “use the flood as a weapon” to hamper Ukrainian forces. The dam’s destruction has caused a humanitarian disaster, with thousands of people being evacuated and villages and towns being submerged.
