Dam supplying water to Crimea blown up in southern Ukraine
It also supplies water to the Crimean peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014, and to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is also under Russian control.
Moscow-installed officials said there was no danger yet to the plant, Europe‘s largest nuclear power plant, from the destruction of the dam. The nuclear power station gets its cooling water from the reservoir.
