Investing.com - In a recent incident, Ukraine forces allegedly targeted a residential district within the city of Nova Kakhovka, resulting in one civilian injured. This information was provided by the local administration that has been appointed by Russia.

Just last week, the city experienced another catastrophe when the Kakhovka dam collapsed. The destruction led to widespread flooding across large areas of land and forced thousands of individuals to evacuate their homes. This event is considered one of Europe's most significant industrial disasters in recent times.

Moreover, it was reported that shelling near Plodovoye village disrupted power supply for its residents.

Both Ukraine and Russia have consistently denied any involvement in targeting civilians during military operations. They have also accused each other of attacking the already flooded regions following the devastating dam explosion.

According to additional reports from local authorities, approximately 7,200 people have been evacuated from flood-affected zones over the past week - including at least 421 children.
