Footage released by Ukraine's army appears to show drones delivering water bottles to people stranded by floodwaters in Russian-controlled areas of Kherson.

Water from the destroyed Kakhovka dam has gushed into nearby villages over the past 48 hours, and towns in the region with a 42,000-strong population are facing a humanitarian disaster.

In a video shared on social media, a resident can be seen reaching out the skylight of their house as a drone carrying a water bottle is lowered and dropped down.
