White House Can't Say If Russia Is Responsible for Ukrainian Dam "Explosion"

National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby says the U.S. is assessing reports that Russia was responsible for an explosion at the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine but says that it "cannot say conclusively what happened at this point." The damage to the dam in southern Ukraine has resulted in casualties and widespread flooding. The near-by Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is not believed to be in any immediate risk. close
