Nova Kakhovka - A huge dam in the Russian-controlled area
it is in southern Ukraine
Thousands of people have been evacuated from communities in the surrounding areas, as catastrophic floods engulf low-lying areas either side of the river Dnipro.

Flood waters are expected to peak in the coming hours, but UN humanitarian aid chief Martin Griffiths is warning of grave and far-reaching consequences for thousands of people in the affected Kherson region.

Here's what we know so far.

Where is the dam?

The Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant is in the city of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson region. The city is currently under Russian occupation.

The dam was built in the Soviet era and is one of six that sit along the Dnipro river, which stretches all the way from the very north of the country into the sea in the south. In Kherson region, Russia occupies the left, or southern, bank while Ukraine controls the right, or northern, bank.

The dam holds back a reservoir equal in volume to the Great Salt Lake in the US state of Utah, according to Reuters. It's huge - locals call it the Kakhovka Sea as you cannot see the other bank in certain places.

What happened?
Stills and video showed a massive breach in the dam, with water surging through it and flooding downstream in the direction of Kherson.

It's unclear when exactly the dam was first damaged, but satellite images suggest its condition deteriorated over a number of days.

The Russian-installed mayor of Nova Kakhovka said the village of Korsunka had been completely submerged, while in three other villages - Kozachi Laheri, Krynky and Dnipryany - were flooded up to their roofs.

He added that almost 2,000 houses on the Ukrainian-controlled right bank of the river had been submerged.

Ukraine's agriculture ministry said 10,000 hectares of agricultural land on the Ukrainian-controlled side of the Dnipro had been flooded, and several times more on the Russian-occupied.
