Ukrainian officials said eight cruise missiles hit Kryvyi Rih on 14 September, including the Karachunivske reservoir dam, and the Inhulets river overflowed. The local military administration head said 112 homes were flooded; a presidential office official said there were no casualties. Zelenskyy said the water system had no military value. An analyst quoted by AFP suggested the aim was to raise the river to damage Ukrainian pontoon bridges further south.
