The Devastating Impact of the Kakhovka Dam Explosion in Ukraine.

The destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine, which was blown up on June 6, has caused a humanitarian crisis, an energy emergency, and an ecological disaster. The dam's reservoir has drained into the Dnieper River, flooding surrounding lands, homes, and infrastructure with poisonous runoff, forcing thousands of residents to flee. The explosion has caused damage to both Russia and Ukraine, and the environmental and energy implications will hurt both countries for years to come. The Black Sea, already Europe's most polluted water body, is also at risk, which will harm its coastal neighbors. The destruction of the dam will also impact Ukraine's exports, industries, and food supplies.
