The undermining of the dam of the Kurakhiv Reservoir — what is known
On November 11, the Russian occupiers destroyed the dam of the Kurakhiv Reservoir. The head of Kurakhivska MBA Roman Padun stated that in the villages that are located along the course of the Vovcha River, the rise of water is recorded.

On the same day, analysts of the DeepState project reported that Russia is continuing the implementation of a large-scale plan to cover Kurakhovo. The occupiers are entering from the flanks and increasing pressure from new directions, trying to access the logistical routes of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.
In the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believe that the Russian occupiers could have hit the dam of the Kurakhiv Reservoir to cause significant and prolonged flooding to the west of it, which would have facilitated Russian efforts to encircle Ukrainian forces north and south of Kurakhiv.
