(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The structure of the dam at the Kakhovkaa Hydroelectric Power Plant continues to collapse. The process could cause additional flooding over the next few days, British intelligence analysts said. That's according to the UK Defense Ministry citing an intelligence report , Ukrinform learned.
It is noted that the water level in the Kakhovka Reservoir was at a record high before the dam collapsed, resulting in a particularly high volume of water inundating the area downstream of the Dnipro River.
