On March 22, 2024, the Dnipro Dam in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, was targeted by a Russian Kh-101 missile attack. Despite the strike, the dam remains intact with no risk of breach, as confirmed by Ukrhydroenergo and the Environment Ministry. The missile directly hit the control room of the dam and a trolley transporting workers to their early shift, causing damage to the plant's supports, crane beams, and equipment. Videos and pictures circulating online show the moment of impact, with the missile deploying thermal traps or flares before striking the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP). The attack is part of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but the situation at the dam is currently under control.
