Floods swept through 18 regions across the Russian Federation, with the most extensive inundation recorded in the Lugansk People’s Republic. Operational services reported these figures as part of ongoing monitoring efforts.
In the LPR, authorities noted that 790 summer houses were submerged under floodwaters, illustrating the scale of the impact on private seasonal living spaces. The flood event also touched several other areas, with reports of rising water affecting communities in Bashkiria, Bryansk, Orenburg, Kemerovo, Voronezh, Tula, Kaluga, Tambov, Ryazan, Lipetsk, Saratov, Smolensk, Ulyanovsk, Orel, Yaroslavl, and Moscow regions, as well as in Altai.
Operational services documented a broader picture of the damage: a total of 876 residential plots were flooded, along with 8 houses, 57 bridges, and 37 road sections that were affected by rising waters. These numbers underscore the sizable disruption caused to housing, transport networks, and local infrastructure.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations press service emphasized daily monitoring of the flood situation by experts, ensuring that authorities can respond quickly as conditions change and needs arise in affected areas.
Earlier, the ministry’s press service announced forecasts and warnings about when large-scale rain floods might begin in regions such as Krasnodar Territory, Crimea, and Primorsky Territory, underscoring the importance of early preparedness and timely information for regional authorities and residents.
In the Kurgan Region, Governor Vadim Shumkov reported via the Telegram channel that local residents were preparing to evacuate due to rising flood risks, highlighting the ongoing human impact and the steps being taken to safeguard communities.
Historically, researchers have noted nature’s significant influence on regional economies, a reminder that flood events affect more than immediate property and transportation; they also shape long-term economic resilience and recovery efforts across affected areas.
