The Devastating Impact of Kakhovka Dam Collapse in Ukraine.

TL;DR Summary
The collapse of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine has caused a significant fall in water levels on the Dnipro River, jeopardizing water sources for farmland and revealing long-lost relics. The dam's collapse has sparked an environmental and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine's Kherson region, with Russia and Ukraine blaming each other for causing the collapse. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, located downstream, is at risk of losing the water needed to cool its reactors, but the UN nuclear watchdog has said there is no short-term risk to the plant following the dam breach.
