Maybe they didn't do it .....
"Vladimir Leontyev, the Russian-installed mayor of the occupied settlement of Nova Kakhovka near the damaged dam blamed Ukraine for the incident, which he said followed "successive strikes" by Ukrainian troops, Russian state news agency Tass reported.
Ukrainian hydro power company Ukrhydroenergo said in a statement that the hydroelectric power plant's engine room "has been destroyed completely" and that the plant "cannot be restored."
According to a preliminary forecast, the Kakhovka reservoir is expected to be operational within four days, it added.
"An uncontrolled decrease in the reservoir level is an additional threat to the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant," Ukrhydroenergo said, noting that water from the reservoir is needed for the nuclear power plant's turbine capacitors and safety systems.
Russian-installed officials said there was no danger yet to the nuclear plant, which is Europe's largest."

The local Russians accused Ukrainian shelling and then shifted to sabotage. The UN nucs people say no danger to the nuclear power plant. Hard to imagine the Ukrainians blowing up critical infrastructure of their own country, exposing their civilian population to further suffering and restricting the operational space for their offensive all to make the Russians look bad. Much easier to imagine Russians desperate to signal how upset they are and doubting the ability of their troops to hold a line, doing it.
