"Unfortunately, the number of victims of Nazi sabotage is growing. In the morning, 12 deaths were confirmed in the Golaya Prystan and five in Aleshky," Alekseyenko said on Telegram. Later in the day, acting Kherson Governor Vladimir Saldo said on social media that 84 people had been hospitalized and 1,700 people had been placed in temporary shelters since the dam was destroyed. The governor added that a total of 7,200 people had been evacuated in the region due to flooding, including 421 children and 123 people with limited mobility. The upper part of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant (HPP) on the Dnepr River was damaged during the night of June 5-6. It was not completely destroyed, but its collapse caused an uncontrolled spill of water into towns on the Russian-controlled eastern bank of the river and the Ukrainian-held western bank. Moscow and Kiev have blamed each other for the dam's destruction. The Kakhovka HPP is the sixth and the last stage of the cascade of Dnepr hydroelectric power plants located 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) from the city of Novaya Kakhovka in the Kherson Region.
