⚡️Official: Russia blows up small dam in area near counteroffensive operations in Donetsk Oblast.
— The Kyiv Independent (@KyivIndependent) June 11, 2023
Military spokesperson Valeriy Shershen, said to Ukrainska Pravda on June 11 that Russia had blown up a dam on the Mokri Yaly River in Donetsk Oblast, flooding both banks.
Blowing dam could be a "legitimate" defensive action here (the reservoir is tiny as well): It may indicate the Russians are seriously rattled about the Ukrainian advance here. And creating a water obstacle works both ways - hindering any Russian counterattack.

Pegov acknowledges some Ukrainian tactical successes and notes that the location of Ukrainian advances is between the AOR for different Russian units.
