MOSCOW (AA) - The dam of the Belgorod reservoir was damaged in a Ukrainian strike on Saturday, the regional governor said.
"As a result of Ukraine’s strike, there are damages to the dam of the Belgorod reservoir," said Vyacheslav Gladkov.
A repeat strike on the dam may affect at least 1,000 people, he warned.
"If this happens again, it will pose a threat of flooding river valley areas on the side of Kharkiv region and several streets of our settlements where around 1,000 residents live," Gladkov added.
Ukraine has yet to comment on Russia’s claims, and independent verification is difficult due to the ongoing conflict.
