Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a reservoir dam has been hit by Russian air raids in his hometown.
The Kryvyi Rih, which is the largest city in central Ukraine with an estimated pre-war population of 650,000, was hit by eight cruise missiles.
Zelenskyy said in an address released early Thursday that the strikes hit the Karachunov reservoir dam.
"The water system had no military value and hundreds of thousands of civilians depend on it daily", he added.
Also, the head of the Kryvyi Rih military administration, Oleksandr Vilkul, said in a statement; “In order to avoid unnecessary risks, I kindly ask the residents of certain streets to evacuate."
According to Vilkul, 112 homes were flooded and works to repair the dam on the Inhulets river were underway and the flooding was receding.
