Both banks of the Mokri Yala river were flooded

On Sunday, June 11, the Russian occupiers blew up a dam on the Mokri Yaly River near the village of Novodarivka in the Zaporizhzhia region.

This was stated by the spokesman of the Defense Forces of the Tavria region Valery Shershen, Ukrinform reports.

"The enemy is nervous and uses any means to prevent a breakthrough of its defenses right here, in the Tavria direction. And after the blowing up of the Kakhovskaya HPP, there is further blowing up of dams of smaller reservoirs. We have information that near the settlement of Novodarivka, the enemy blew up a dam, and this led to the flooding of both banks of the Mokri Yala River," he said.

Shershen emphasized that the next blow-up of the dam will not affect the conduct of offensive actions of the Defense Forces of the Tavria direction.

This is the third destroyed dam in the last month. Thus, on May 25, the occupiers damaged the dam of the Karliv reservoir, and on June 6, they blew up the Kakhovskaya HPP.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that on the night of Tuesday, June 6, the Russian invaders blew up the dam at the Kakhovskaya HPP. According to OSINT researchers, the environmental and economic consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovskaya HPP can be equated to the consequences of using tactical nuclear weapons of 5-10 kilotons.

Previously, EcoPolitic analyzed why the destruction of the Kakhovskaya HPP is already being called the greatest possible man-made disaster of the 21st century.
