How Russia Destroyed the Kakhovka Dam

The Karakova Dam was breached on June 5th 2023 at around 2:50 in the morning local time.

I believe that a structural collapse, not an explosion. Russia is still to blame for this calamity, but I believe the structural failure occurred due to overtopping and hydrodynamic scour due to frequent use of the southernmost sluice gate and spillway.
