Russia and Ukraine War: Missiles hit the dam in Ukraine, and people were ordered to evacuate

Residents of Krivoy Rih, Ukraine, have been asked to evacuate after missiles hit a large reservoir dam in the city, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky. The media reported this on Thursday. The attacks on Wednesday affected 22 roads in two districts of Krivi Rih, according to the head of the city's military administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, the BBC reported.

Describing Russia as a terrorist state, Zelensky said in a social media post late Wednesday that the war against civilians is on. This time missile hydraulic formations were attacked and attempts were made to destroy Krivi Rih. Ukraine said the attack was in retaliation for its recent retaliatory strike by Russia.

All the occupiers can do is spread panic, create an emergency, and take away essential things like electricity, water and food from the people, he added. His doing this can it break us? not at all. Will they get a befitting reply for this? Yes.'

Zelensky said the reservoir has no military value. He emphasized that enemy countries are trying to inflict damage from a distance by running away from the battlefield. Meanwhile, Russia has not publicly commented on the alleged missile attack, although the Russian military has acknowledged that a blackout was created by attacks on power plants in eastern Ukraine last weekend.

City officials said the water flow was recorded at 100 cubic meters per second and the water level in the Inhulets River rose alarmingly.

According to the deputy head of the presidential office, Kyrillo Tymoshenko, the water supply has been affected by the attack. About 600,000 people are at risk of flooding.

Russia has yet to comment on Wednesday's attacks.
