Hundreds of people were evacuated from settlements along the southern stretch of Ukraine's Dnipro river on Tuesday after water burst through the breached Nova Kakhovka dam, submerging streets, homes and town squares further downstream.
The collapse of the barrier at the southern tip of the vast Kakhovka reservoir unleashed a torrent of water, adding to misery for thousands of people who have been caught on the front lines of war between Ukraine and Russia.
