Today, Russian and Ukrainian publics reported the destruction of the Ternovskaya dam of the Kurakhovsky reservoir, located near the village of Starye Terny. According to the source, the dam was damaged as a result of morning shelling, which caused serious destruction. The publication cites sources in emergency services, indicating that water from the reservoir began to rise and spread to settlements located downstream of the Volchya River.

The source confirmed the information about the damage to the dam and reported that the water level in the Volchya River is rising. However, it is impossible to accurately assess the damage and the severity of the damage due to the ongoing shelling, which complicates the work of specialists and the inspection of the structure.

According to Padun, water has already begun to flow into nearby settlements, which creates a threat of flooding of rural areas and homes of local residents. Residents of settlements located in the possible flood zone controlled by the Ukrainian military must be prepared for emergency evacuation if the situation worsens.

At the time of publication, there are no current images from the scene of the incident on the Internet, which makes it difficult to assess the full picture of the damage and the current extent of the spread of water.
