The "New York Times" reported that "there is evidence suggesting that the destruction of the massive Kakhovka Dam in a Russia-controlled area of Ukraine this month resulted from an internal explosion orchestrated by Moscow." The newspaper cited engineers and explosives experts on Friday, stating that "an investigation found evidence indicating that an explosive device detonated in a corridor through the dam's concrete base, leading to its destruction on June 6." Engineers noted that "a thorough inspection of the dam after draining the water could determine the sequence of events that led to the destruction."
