В зону подтопления на территории Херсонской области в результате атаки на Каховскую ГЭС попали около 15 тысяч домовладений в прибрежных районах и населенных пунктов, пишет «Интерфакс».

Как заявила министр социальной политики Херсонской области Алла Бархатнова, в ночь на среду, 7 июня, сотрудники МЧС занимались эвакуацией жителей частных домов, которые не успели самостоятельно покинуть зону стихийного бедствия. Чиновница указала, что некоторых из владельцев домов пришлось снимать с их крыш из-за сильного повышения уровня воды.

Всего в зону подтопления попадают 35 населенных пунктов, 11 из них находятся в районе Новой Каховки, еще 12 — в районе населенных пунктов Голая Пристань и Алешки. К настоящему моменту из зоны бедствия эвакуированы около полутора тысяч человек.
