Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the breach of the Nova Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine has left hundreds of thousands of people without drinking water.
At least 100 people in the Russian-controlled town of Nova Kakhovka are trapped, and thousands of wild animals have been killed after the Kakhovka dam collapsed, Russian news agencies reported.
Every second, more than 30,000 cubic metres (30 million litres or 8 million gallons) of water pours out of the reservoir the dam held back, and the town is at risk of contamination, the TASS news agency quoted the Russian-installed mayor, Vladimir Leontyev, as saying.
He said rescue efforts were under way to free people trapped by the floods.
