More: Typhoon Khunun, which previously brought great destruction to Japan and Korea, has almost disappeared, turning into a tropical depression. But before disappearing completely, the typhoon dealt its last crushing blow. Heavy rains hit the Primorsky Territory of Russia, causing a sharp rise in the level of rivers and reservoirs. For 2 days, a total of 2 monthly precipitation fell for this time of year. Through the unfinished dam near the city of Ussuriysk, which is being built to protect this area from floods, water began to seep. As a result, the dam could not withstand the powerful pressure of the incoming water and collapsed. Under water was one of the largest cities in Primorsky Krai, Ussuriysk with its suburbs (more than 200,000 inhabitants) and several villages. In nine municipalities of Primorsky Krai, a state of emergency has been introduced due to the collapse of the dam and the rise in the water level. Local authorities have begun evacuating residents from flooded areas, and they are trying to pump out water. According to the mayor of the city: “The situation around the breach of the dam is under control, but it is now impossible to quickly eliminate the ravine.“ The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia informs about the flooding in 17 municipalities of the Primorsky Territory of 584 residential buildings, 1473 household plots, 47 sections of roads. More than 60 temporary accommodation centers have been opened with a total capacity of more than 12,000 people. “A request to everyone who is in the flood zone not to take risks and not delay the evacuation.” “It is better to wait out the impact of the elements in safe places. This is especially true for the elderly and children.“ “Thank you to the rescuers, law enforcement agencies, other emergency services and the business community for quickly getting involved in helping people, pumping out water,“ the governor of Primorsky Krai wrote on his Telegram channel. . Typhoon Khunun has almost disappeared for the moment, but Japan, Korea and Russia will have a long time to eliminate the consequences of its devastating passage. Meanwhile, a new, powerful typhoon, named Lan, is approaching Japan. But that is another story... Forecasters warn of a dangerous rise in water levels in rivers. The region still faces the threat of flooding of roads, low places in communities, farmland and underpasses. The city of Ussuriysk suffered greatly from the typhoon. And the city itself and its environs literally went under water. Many houses and roads are flooded, bridges are washed away, and the dam is also destroyed. In addition, at the moment, the village of Slavyanka, as well as villages in the Oktyabrsky district, remain flooded. Local residents report that due to bad weather they were left without electricity and there are interruptions in communication.
