Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Nova Kakhovka dam is situated on the Dnipro River in the Kherson Oblast of southern Ukraine. It was a major hydroelectric power plant and a vital water source for southern Ukraine, including the Crimean Peninsula, and provided cooling water for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

  • The dam made international headlines in June 2023 when it was breached during the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
  • The destruction led to catastrophic flooding in downstream areas, significant environmental damage, and the displacement of thousands of residents.
  • The site is strategically located in an area that has seen intense fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces.

Given its geographical location within the sovereign territory of Ukraine, Option C is the correct answer.
