Ukraine blames Russia for blowing up a major southern dam

In a photo taken from video released by the Ukrainian Presidential Office, water surges through a break in the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine. Ukraine and Russia are both accusing each other of blowing up the dam, which also destroyed an attached hydroelectric power station.

The surging water from the Kakhovka dam is likely to cause widespread flooding and poses an additional risk to an already troubled nuclear plant. Russia says Ukraine is to blame.
