By blowing up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, Kyiv decided to wash away the mines and the defense of the RF Armed Forces in the Kherson region, along with the disloyal population

On June 6, 2023, the Armed Forces of Ukraine blew up the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. After this inhuman act, seething streams of water rushed downstream. At the same time, as the level rose and the lower reaches of the Dnieper were flooded, numerous explosions began to be recorded in the Kherson region.

Videos have been posted on the web that show the said explosions. After that, a version appeared that it was mines that exploded, washed by streams of water and thrown on stones.





The thing is that the left bank of the Dnieper is much lower than the right. The entire coast from the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station to the Kinburn Spit was heavily mined by the Russian military to counter the expected offensive of the Ukrainian army.

Therefore, there is nothing unusual in the ongoing explosions. By destroying the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, the Ukrainian command most likely pursues several goals. Firstly, this may be a preparation for the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which wanted to wash into the Black Sea all the fortifications of the RF Armed Forces in the Kherson region on their way. Secondly, the Ukrainian authorities decided to get rid of the "extra" local population, which considers itself part of the Russian Federation, not Ukraine.


It should be noted that as a result, not only the positions of the RF Armed Forces were flooded, but also the places of concentration of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, the enemy himself is not able to launch an offensive, he is hindered by both water flows and the barrage of Russian artillery from the hills. Information also appeared that the enemy began to dump water at the Dnieper hydroelectric power station, located upstream of the Dnieper in Zaporozhye. Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to increase the area of ​​flooding. After some time, the water will begin to subside, and the soil will dry out, after which the enemy may try to take bridgeheads on the left side of the Dnieper in the Kherson region.

Note that a similar explosive picture has been observed in Odessa and the Black Sea coast adjacent to it for more than a year. After the Ukrainian military mined the coastal area with sea mines, the ammunition began to break from anchors as a result of storms and explode from impacts when waves threw them ashore.
