News from Al-Madinah: The renowned Novakkovka Dam in Jiusson, southern Ukraine, which is under the control of Russian forces, served as a major talking point for the exchange of accusations between Moscow and Kiev. Today, Sunday, the local Russian authorities claimed that the enormous dam had been the target of Ukrainian bombing.
According to TASS, emergency personnel in the area have confirmed that the dam was harmed by the Ukrainian forces’ bombing.
Additionally, it was made obvious that the dam had been damaged by 6 missiles fired from the American-built Himarms system.
While reports in Russian media claimed that Jacon experienced a total blackout.
Kyiv had previously accused Moscow of preparing for the dam’s booby -trapping and the huge electrical power generation units, to cover up its losses and withdrawals from MKson and other regions in the south, warning of a flood disaster that might be resolved if the Russians implement this scenario.
The dam burst would sink “more than eighty town, including Jacon, in the centre of the floodwaters,” it was also warned at the time.
However, Moscow confirmed more than once that these accusations are false, and paves the way to cover a “movement or a Ukrainian plan” aimed at holding Russian forces responsible for any disaster.
This airstrike occurred today in conjunction with the ongoing evacuation of Jiusson, the first significant Ukrainian city to be captured by Russian forces since hostilities began on February 24. It also occurred amid rumours that the Russian army was relocating.
This city is also one of the four territories that the Kremlin stated it would annexe in late September 2022, thus the loss of its authority by Ukraine will be a terrible blow to Moscow and the stature of its armed forces.
Jiusson’s physical location is also crucial because it lies on the borders of the Dniprobroprovsk and Nicolaiv areas, borders Crimea on land in the south, overlooks the Black Sea in the southwest, and faces the Azov Sea in the southeast.
It is noteworthy that the Russian -Ukrainian conflict folded its eighth month, amid a continuation of the mutual strikes between the two sides, and it advanced relatively slow at the present time, to the Ukrainian forces in its counter -attack that launched it last month in the south and east, after they recorded remarkable progress in the past at the expense of the Russian forces.
