The attacks came after the two warring countries hit each other with massive drone attacks at the weekend and as the long-term future of US support for Ukraine hangs in the air after the election of Donald Trump.Moscow's army is now rapidly advancing in the Donetsk region and is closing in on the town of Kurakhove, which lies next to the reservoir and had a pre-war population of around 10,000 people.
In June last year, a massive Soviet-era dam in Ukraine's southern Kherson region was blown up, pouring billions of litres of water downstream and flooding dozens of villages on the banks of the Dnipro River. In Kryvyi Rig, the home city of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a search and rescue operation was under way, with at least 14 people wounded after Russian strikes on the city."A woman and three children may be trapped there," he added, publishing a photo of a seriously damaged block of flats.The attacks came a day after Moscow and Kiev launched record drone attacks on each other on Sunday.
