Heavy rainfall in central Russia has led to a dam burst in the Chelyabinsk region, prompting authorities to evacuate residents from several nearby villages.
A 100-meter section of the dam at the Kialimsky reservoir failed, causing rapid water levels to rise and threaten approximately 200 people in four villages. As a precautionary measure, dozens of residents have been evacuated, and no injuries have been reported thus far.
Emergency response teams are on the ground assisting with evacuation efforts and providing support to those affected. Reception centers have been established for displaced residents. (ILKHA)
