Russia strikes Pechenizke Reservoir near Chuhuiv — dam traffic suspended
As a result of Russia's missile strike on the Pechenizke Reservoir near Chuhuiv, dam traffic has been suspended and authorities have declared a state of emergency — there is a growing threat of flooding and water supply disruptions in the region.

Russian troops struck the Pechenizke Reservoir near Chuhuiv, completely halting traffic on the dam. Local authorities declared a state of emergency in the region due to the threat of destruction and possible flooding of populated areas. This was reported by community leader Oleksandr Gusarov on Telegram.

As a result of the strike, there is an increased risk of disruption to the supply of drinking water, water and energy resources. The commandant's services are calling on residents to remain vigilant and emergency services to be ready to respond. Details about damage to the dam itself or casualties have not yet been reported.

In the context of this incident, the authorities are warning of possible evacuations and asking people not to ignore alarm signals. The investigation and assessment of the extent of the consequences are ongoing.
