 Snow melting in the Khorgan region of Russia has caused the water in the rivers to rise and floods. The Russian press reported on this. A state of emergency has been declared in the province. The water level in the Tobol River has increased by more than 11 meters and crossed the dangerous limit. As a result, more than 100 living areas and several settlements were under water. 13,567 residents were evacuated from those areas. Some of them were placed in the houses of relatives living in other areas, and some were placed in temporary shelters. The governor of the province, the dean Shumkov, says that work is currently being done to prevent the water.
