WASHINGTON. June 6 (Interfax) - Washington is analyzing information about the situation around the damaged Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) and is not sufficiently well-informed yet to judge what happened there, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said.
"We've been closely monitoring the impacts of that destruction. We are working with Ukrainians to gather more information, but we cannot say conclusively what happened at this point," he said.
The plant's surface structures were damaged in the early hours of Tuesday, leading to an uncontrollable discharge of water from the Kakhovka reservoir into the Dnieper downstream. Water levels in nearby villages are rising, and an evacuation is underway.
