US Spy Satellites Spotted Blast At Ukraine Dam Before It Collapsed

According to a US official, American spy satellites spotted an explosion at Ukraine’s Kakhovka dam moments before it collapsed and unleashed a torrent of flood water into nearby communities this week, according to the New York Times.

The official said that satellites equipped with infrared sensors detected a heat signature consistent with a major explosion, the official told the newspaper.

U.S. intelligence analysts suspect Russia was behind the dam’s destruction, the official said, but that American spy agencies do not have solid evidence about who was responsible.
