Quote: "During the last few days, the Russian army has carried out and continues to carry out missile strikes on the Pechenihy Reservoir Dam.
There is a probable threat of destruction by the enemy of the Pechenihy Hydroelectric Plant Dam. An emergency situation is possible as a result of catastrophic flooding of territories downstream."
Details: Residents of the hromada were urged to follow the announcement of the city council 24 hours a day and, in case of alarm, to take essential items and leave the unsafe area.
Husarov advises in the event of an emergency:
- Residents of Berehova Street, Kharkivska Street, Rybna Street, Sosnova Street and Rybna Lane in the settlement of Pechenihy – move to Zinchenko Street (the area of the former eight-year school);
- To residents of Hohol Street in the village of Kytsivka – move to the mountain (cemetery area)
- Residents of Diomina Street in the village of Piatnytske should move to the upper part of the village (closer to the forest).
Background: On 20 September, General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russian troops tried to destroy the dam of the Pechenihy Reservoir in Kharkiv Oblast - but without success.
On 14-16 September, Russian troops launched three missile strikes on the Karachunivka Reservoir Dam near Kryvyi Rih: the result of those strikes caused serious destruction to hydrotechnical structures and caused the Inhulets River to overflow.
