The city of Nikopol near the front line in the south is also regularly hit by Russian forces and half of its pre-war population of 100,000 people has left. The region has already been badly hit by an explosion at the Kakhovka dam on June 6 which caused significant flooding and killed dozens of people. Upstream from the dam, the Kakhovka reservoir – 100km long and up to 10km wide – is running low. Local residents fill their bottles with non-potable water at a water distribution centre in Nikopol.
