Over 21,000 houses remain partially flooded in the Kherson Region after a major dam breach at the Kakhovka Hydro Power Plant (HPP) last week, the region’s Acting Governor Vladimir Saldo said on Tuesday.
"As many as 1,800 houses are no longer flooded, while 21,400 are still inundated," the governor wrote on his Telegram channel.
According to him, "the flooding is losing momentum." "The water level in the town of Aleshki has dropped to 0.4 meters, while in Golaya Pristan it is down to 0.34 meters. In Novaya Kakhovka, it still remains at five meters," the acting governor wrote.
