Check the updated videos I added at the bottom of the opening dam section. There are 2 new very strange videos of the Dam now being shelled by some type of mortar, at least that's what people are assuming. However, notice that you don't hear any tell-tale characteristic whistling sound of artillery or mortar coming in, nor do you see anything drop. My suspicion is that these are naval sea mines traveling down river and exploding when they hit the shore. Last year, this was the chief method by which Ukraine had planned to blow the Kakhovka dam. It was written about widely and they already had forward men stationed with cars carrying naval mines that they planned to drop into the Dnieper river upstream so that the mines would hit the dam and destroy it. This was the main reason Russian troops withdrew from Kherson after this threat.

I could be wrong but judging by those new videos it seems a possibility that Ukraine finally enacted the plan and sent mines down river to blow the dam and some of them are still exploding.

What do you all think?

One report:

"According to statements, shelling of the dam of the Kakhovka reservoir last night was carried out from the Alder-2 MLRS (by AFU), which caused damage to three spans and their subsequent collapse under water pressure.

For the North Crimean Canal, so far they report a decrease in the water level in the canal."
