Intentionally attacking civilian infrastructure is a "war crime", British foreign minister James Cleverly said on Tuesday, after a blast at a major hydroelectric dam in the south of Ukraine.

"The destruction of Kakhovka dam is an abhorrent act. Intentionally attacking exclusively civilian infrastructure is a war crime," Cleverly said on Twitter.
