There’s footage on Telegram of Russian soldiers boasting that they’d been mining the dam.
There’s also footage on Telegram of Russian commentators announcing that the explosions were as a result of Russian activity.
Separately there’s chatter to the effect of, Ukraine was going to “attack the dam” so the Russians blew up the road.
It’s all a bit confusing but Russian narratives flipped after an hour or two.
Suddenly, they stopped saying THEY did it and started blaming Ukraine.
My guess is, Russia thought Ukraine was going to take the dam, set off some explosives to block the road, and inadvertently set off enough explosives beneath the surface to crack the dam.
Seismographs in Eastern Europe picked up a massive tremor early this morning. A surface detonation can’t explain that. That dam didn’t just break up from the road down.
To bust a dam open like that, the explosion needed to be below surface.
