Munitions are found in the areas of the Kakhovsky reservoir, in particular even from the time of the Second World War
The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the head of work on the elimination of the consequences of the hydroelectric power plant explosion Igor Klymenko in Kherson region met with Andriy Seletsky - the head of the Novovorontsov settlement military administration.
The main issue of the meeting was to provide the community with drinking and technical water. The head of the Novovorontsovsk settlement military administration said that there are wells on the territory of Novovorontsovka and Osokorovka, and work is also underway to restore wells, reservoirs and a water tower.
Novovorontsovskaya community has a weekly supply of drinking water, tanks with a volume of up to 10 cubic meters for storing water are already delivered to settlements.
According to operational data, the water moved away from the community by more than 300 meters. It is predicted that the distance between the coasts will decrease from 14 kilometers to about 1,300 meters. Because of this, in some parts of the Kakhovsky reservoir, buildings and infrastructure facilities flooded during the construction of the hydroelectric power plant are already visible. A separate danger is explosive objects. Due to constant shelling by Russian troops, the water area of the reservoir is contaminated with ammunition. After the explosion of the hydroelectric power plant, shells from the Second World War are also studied. On June 10, the explosives engineers conducted 5 controlled explosions. Access to the coast for civilians is strictly prohibited!
The head of the Novovorontsov settlement military administration provided archival maps created before the construction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant. Based on them, experts will predict the development of the situation, in particular the natural location of river beds.
