People are being evacuated from the Ukrainian city of Kherson, where flood waters have been rising steadily since the destruction of the Russian-controlled Nova Kakhovka dam. The city sits on the west bank of the river Dnipro, with Russian occupation forces gathered on the opposite side. A resident of Kherson, Alexsiy Sandakov, said he'd seen the waters rising all morning.
