As a result of the flooding from the June 6 Kakhovka Dam breach, the Dnipro river grew wider, deeper, and faster downstream. For example, near the town of Korsunka—an area that Russia had fortified prior to the breach—the width of the river expanded from 583 meters to 3,660 meters across at one section.
