LIVE: Flooding devastates Ukrainian city Kherson after dam was destroyed FOOTAGE released by Ukraine's emergency services on Tuesday shows rescue workers motor-boating through a flooded residential neighborhood in the Kherson region. The area was inundated after a massive dam holding back a reservoir was destroyed, sending a deluge downstream into a war zone and forcing villagers to flee. These rescuers appear to lift an elderly resident from their home in a rug. Drone footage from a Russian news agency shows what's left of the Soviet-era Nova Kakhovka dam. Russia has controlled the dam since early in its 15-month-old invasion. Ukraine accused Russia of blowing it up, calling the act a deliberate war crime.
