Floods could hit the city of Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine after a Russian strike damaged infrastructure causing the Inhulets River to flood, the Ukrainian presidency warned Wednesday.

“At the point of impact, we have observed a water flow of 100 cubic metres per second, which is a large volume,” said Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president’s office.

“The water level of the Inhulets River is changing every hour,” he added.
