On September 21 and 22, the Russian military struck Pecheneg Dam on the Siverskyi Donets River. For this, they used short-range ballistic missiles or similar weapons. According to British intelligence, this happened after a strike at the Karachuniv dam near the city of Kryvyi Rih.
“Ukrainian forces are advancing further downstream on both rivers. As Russian commanders become increasingly concerned about their operational failures, they are likely trying to hit the dam locks to flood Ukrainian military checkpoints,” said the intelligence on the Twitter page.
