The Russian army launched a missile attack on Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. There were two attacks, the local administration did not announce in which parts of the city the defeats took place.
Military observers tweeted that Tu-95MS strategic (and nuclear) bombers attacked dams and reservoirs in Ukraine with Kh-101 missiles, which have a range of 5,500 km and carry 500 kg of explosive warheads. The deputy head of the presidential administration in Kyiv, Kiril Tymoshenko, announced that a total of 8 rockets were fired at Kryvyi Rih.
Some missiles hit below the waterline of the dam across the Ingulets river. The impact severely damaged the dam and the water level in the Ingulets river is now surging - severely as seen in the video below:

Electricity and fresh water is now cut-off in Kryvyi Rih.
This is now the second large demonstration of what Russia is capable of doing to Ukrainian infrastructure; the first being missile strikes against electrical stations a few days ago.
Unlike the electric grid, which was re-routed, there's no way to make a quick fix to this dam.

And maybe the next generation will think - if only someone had used a nuke or two to stop worlwide destruction it would have been much better.
The effects are local - albeit long lasting.
Russia needs another round of grid attacks to semi-permanently destroy the grid and communications centers.
May also involve military satelite destruction, and starlink sats.
Don't forget about airports too, runways are not much for landing if pot holes exist.
Don't like damns .
2 dams fail in Michigan, forcing 10,000 evacuations, emergency declaration?
Unlike the US military that creates wanton destruction, often without real purpose, everywhere it wars, Putin has shown phenomenal restraint in damaging things that civilians rely upon.
Talking about Brandon? ;-)
