In Ussuriysk, a coastal city hit by floods, water levels are gradually receding. Official statements relay that the situation is stabilizing as authorities monitor ongoing changes. The Razdolnaya River has dropped by about 11 centimeters, and the citywide water level has fallen by roughly 3 centimeters per hour. Officials expect the rate of decline to continue, signaling a slow but steady improvement in flood conditions.

Separately, officials report rising water in the Mezhdurechye and Seven Winds districts, indicating that some neighborhoods still face elevated moisture and potential inundation. In total, five urban areas have experienced flooding, though critical infrastructure remains a priority. The city’s water supply system is not expected to be shut down, and the local water treatment facility continues to operate, ensuring tap water remains safe for drinking and cooking.

Earlier updates noted that Alexander Kurenkov, head of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, dispatched a task force based in Primorye, known as Khanun, to coordinate the response and mitigation efforts as the typhoon aftermath unfolds.

As of mid-August, authorities in Primorsky Krai reported that about 612 people had been evacuated to temporary shelters in response to the flooding. Social media and local reporting highlight the resilience of residents and the steady work of volunteers, with many citizens praising acts of everyday courage during the emergency, including a frontline cleaning worker who emerged as a city-wide symbol of perseverance and care for neighbours during the disaster.
