The press service for the Leningrad Region’s Law, Order and Security Committee reported that a weather system bringing heavy storms and rain left at least three people injured on Sunday evening. The updates were provided to TASS and reflect the situation across the region.
In Slantsy, a powerful gust of wind tore the roof from a house on Chkalova Street, injuring one resident. Nearby on Lugovaya Street, a tree fell onto a car, trapping two occupants inside. Rescue teams and medical responders arrived quickly at both scenes to stabilize the injured and transfer them to receiving facilities for further care.
Emergency services crews from Lenoblpozhspas coordinated the response, handing over those hurt to emergency medical technicians. Officials continued to gather details about additional weather-related injuries as information was confirmed from the ground and through local authorities.
Separately, air traffic management noted disruptions caused by the strong crosswinds, rain, and stormy conditions. Diverted aircraft reduced the reliability of flight schedules, with a few remaining flights rerouted to alternate airports based on prevailing weather patterns and safety considerations.
In related aviation updates, Aeroflot reported a period of adjustment in flight operations around the region. Staff at Sheremetyevo airport worked to stabilize the schedule, while the airline provided figures on departures and delays tied to the weather, reflecting the challenge of maintaining regular service during unsettled conditions.
From the day prior, the area had already faced adjustments to the schedule, with a notable portion of the planned departures rescheduled or delayed. Airline teams continued to manage the flow of flights, dispatching crews and aircraft as conditions allowed, and prioritizing safety for passengers and staff alike.
Earlier incidents in the region have underscored the dangers of severe weather, including reports of a fallen tree causing serious harm during a tornado event in the Moscow region. Local authorities remain vigilant, ready to respond to any further weather developments and to provide timely updates to residents and travelers as new information becomes available.
