Ukraine: Russian troops cut off by flooding after Belgorod dam strike

Source: The Telegraph [UK]

“Ukraine has carried out a drone strike on Belgorod dam that led to flooding in the southern Russian region and cut off several Moscow units. Water gushed from the damaged reservoir, disrupting Russian logistics and stranding troops stationed on the Ukrainian side of the border in Vovchansk. … Before the dam strike, Ukraine’s 16 Army Corps said Russian activity near Vovchansk had increased owing to warm weather. This hardened the ground and led to shallower rivers in the region, making logistics easier for the Russians. But after the strike, the water surged into the Siverskyi Donets River, reportedly flooding Russian bunkers and trenches and complicating logistics for the forward positions of Moscow’s troops.” (10/27/25)
