Also, the NYT reports that the destruction of the Kakhova Dam was likely perpetrated by the Russians by detonating explosives placed in an internal passageway, as "Nova Kakhovka dam on Dnipro river was designed to withstand almost any attack imaginable – from the outside."
War Zone reports that the Ukrainians might be taking advantage of one possibly unanticipated consequence of the dam's destruction- the lowering of the water level of the reservoir behind it- by staging landings on the left bank of the Dnipro.
