Drone footage of collapsed Ukrainian dam shows ruined structure, devastation and no sign of life

13 Sept 09:09 Key points summarised by AI

Exclusive drone footage reveals the catastrophic destruction of the Kakhovka dam and extensive flooding in Russian-occupied Ukrainian villages, submerging hundreds of homes and structures with no visible signs of life.
The collapse, which both Russia and Ukraine blame on each other, has irrevocably altered the downstream landscape and significantly shifted the dynamics of the 15-month-old war.
The flooding has paralyzed occupied towns, with residents on the Russian-controlled side reportedly receiving no official evacuation help, leaving many stranded and in dire need as water levels rise.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
