MADRID, 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Russian emergency services have denounced this Sunday a Ukrainian missile attack against the dam of the Kajovka hydroelectric power plant, 60 kilometers north of the city of Kherson, right now the epicenter of the advance of the Ukrainian forces in the southeast of the country.
While waiting for Ukraine to respond to this complaint, the Russian services have denounced that the Ukrainian Army fired at least six projectiles from multiple launch rocket systems.
Five of them were destroyed, but a sixth reached the lock of the dam, although the damage is not considerable, according to the Russian representative of the Novo Kajovka administration, Ruslan Agaev.
“Thanks to the work of the air defense, all the main attacks were repelled. The rocket that hit did not cause critical damage. Everything is under control. The dam is intact,” he assured in statements collected by the TASS agency.
Ukraine’s President Volodimir Zelensky has long accused Russian forces, under control of the dam since February, of laying mines on the facility and causing catastrophic flooding of communities along the Dnieper River to slow the advance of kyiv forces.
