TL;DR Summary

Evidence suggests that the Kakhovka dam in a Russian-controlled area of Ukraine was destroyed by an inside explosion set off by Russia, according to an investigation by the New York Times. A team of international legal experts also found it "highly likely" that the collapse was caused by explosives planted by Russians. The Kremlin accuses Kyiv of sabotaging the dam, while Ukraine accuses Russia of blowing it up, unleashing floodwater across a large swath of the battleground. The cause of the explosion cannot be independently verified, and only a full examination of the dam can establish the sequence of events leading to the destruction.
