Ukraine's president has called for an international rescue operation as dam attack in Russia-occupied Kherson floods region.
remained unclear Thursday, three days after the country's president accused Russian forces in the region of blowing up a major dam in an act of terror. One Russian-backed official in the region said Thursday that five people had died as water continued to gush through the massive missing portion of the Nova Kakhovka Dam, less than 50 miles upriver from the major city of Kherson.
But for thousands of Ukrainian civilians who live in and around the Dnipro river, downstream of the destroyed dam, it was misery upon misery as they were left to wade through a deluge, clutching whatever possessions they could salvage from their homes and, in some cases, using whatever they could find to stay afloat.
Even as they escape the floodwater, however, danger is always close. A Russian shell landed nearby as a woman was pulled from the water on Wednesday — a reminder that while it is now a disaster area, it's still a warzone, too.
