"The invaders wanted to blackmail Ukraine," the SBU says, "by blowing up the dam and staging a man-made disaster in the south of our country".France’s TF1 and Sony Pictures Television Networks have renewed Crossing Lines for a second season. The suggestion that the dam’s collapse was the result of a botched Russian sabotage operation has been circulating since earlier this week. In the recording, which the BBC cannot verify, one says a Russian sabotage group was responsible, but that the explosion went further than expected. Separately, Ukraine’s domestic security service (SBU) has released a recording of what they say is a phone conversation between two unnamed Russian military men, discussing how Russia was responsible for blowing up the dam. According to Norsar, the timing and location coincide with the collapse of the dam. The signals indicate an explosion at 02.54 on Tuesday. Norsar, the Norwegian Seismic Array, says that it has analysed seismic signals from a regional station in Bukovina in Romania (620km away from Nova Kakhovka). Two potentially important pieces of evidence have emerged in the past few hours over how the dam in Nova Kakhovka was breached in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called it an act of "sabotage" that would deprive the Crimean peninsula - an area annexed by Russia in 2014 - of water. Moscow, in return, has denied it is to blame. They say they now have evidence to back up that accusation, with its domestic security service claiming to have intercepted a telephone call between two Russian-speaking men stating the dam breach was the result of the activities of a Russian sabotage group. Norsar, the Norwegian Seismic Array which analysed the signals, says the timing and location coincide with the collapse of the dam.įurthermore, only a very large quantity of explosives could have produced the signal detected almost 400 miles away, says BBC World Affairs correspondent Paul Adams.įrom the start, Ukraine has accused Russia of blowing up the dam.

Seismic signals recorded in Bukovina, Romania, 620km (372 miles) away from Nova Kakhovka, indicate an explosion took place at 2:54 on Tuesday.
