LONDON, September 24 (EFE): The British Ministry of Defense said on Saturday that Russia had attacked two dams on Ukrainian rivers in recent days in an attempt to impede the advance of troops from Kyiv.
The Pechenihy Dam, located on the Donets River, was bombed on Wednesday and Thursday this week with short-range ballistic missiles or similar weapons, while the Karachunivske Dam, in the center of the country, was attacked on September 15, according to British intelligence details. in the current situation.
The Defense Ministry says Ukrainian forces are “advancing downstream” along rivers where dams have been built, stressing that Russian leaders are “increasingly concerned about operational setbacks” they are experiencing.
“They are probably trying to attack the dam gates to flood the crossing points of the Ukrainian army,” the British ministry added.
However, the UK says it is unlikely the attacks have caused any major problems for Ukrainian operations, given the distance between the damaged dams and the combat zones. EFE
