- On the night of June 6, Russia blew up the Kakhovka HPP in the Kherson region. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Russians deliberately blew up the dam, but they did it chaotically, which caused their military equipment to sink. 21 people died in the unoccupied part of the region, 55 in the occupied part (the actual number is unknown). Damages from the explosion of the Kakhovskaya HPP amount to more than $2 billion.
