Ukraine’s military has accused Russian forces of blowing up a major dam in the Moscow-seized region of Kherson in the south of the country.

There are fears that thousands of houses downstream may now be flooded.

A Russian-installed local official said only the power plant’s upper part was destroyed by shelling – but not the dam itself.

Neither claims have been verified by the BBC.
