Seismic signals captured by geologists and testimony on social media suggest a huge ground-shaking noise was heard in the early hours of Tuesday, adding to growing evidence that destruction of the Kakhovka dam was caused by explosive devices.
that they detected multiple seismic events at the dam in the early hours of Tuesday, first at 2:35 a.m. local time and then a much larger one at 2:54 a.m.
“Damn... such [loud] explosions...” one person said in a Telegram group used by locals at 2:20 a.m. local time Tuesday . “And I hear it continuing,” someone replied 11 minutes later. “It’s conceivable that prior damage to the dam combined with record high water levels could precipitate a failure, but my assessment continues to be that a failure initiated by a large explosion is much more likely,” he said via email.
“In order to create this much devastation, it must have been a very sophisticated bunch of explosives put in the right places. It was enough, and calculated enough, to destroy the whole dam,” he added.
