Around 14,000 houses have been flooded after Ukraine's Kakhovka dam burst, with around 4,300 people evacuated, Russian state-owned news agency TASS cited the country's security services as saying on Thursday.

The Kakhovka dam, which sits on the Dnipro river on the frontline between Ukrainian and Russian-controlled territory, burst on Tuesday.
