1:17Now PlayingA major dam collapsed in southern Ukraine, causing flooding and prompting evacuations. Both Russia and Ukraine blamed each other for the damage.
RELATEDHas Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia begun?
Russia and Ukraine blamed the other for a dam collapse, which comes as Russian forces struggle against what appears to be the start of a long-awaited Ukrainian counteroffensive. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Ukraine of "deliberate sabotage" to deprive Crimea of water. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the dam was mined by the Russian occupiers, creating the "largest man-made environmental disaster in Europe in decades."
Video footage released by Zelenskyy showed water crashing through wide gaps in the dam and roaring downriver toward the city of Kherson, home to almost 300,000 Ukrainians before the war. Ukrainian officials said evacuations were underway.
