The local authorities deny the fact that the dam broke
In Russia, Dalnerechensk of the Primorsky Krai is flooded due to a breach of the dam on the Malinivka River. Residents of the Myasokombinat neighborhood are urged to evacuate.
As TASS reports with reference to the press service of the Ministry of NGOs and Emergency Situations of the region, there are currently no victims. 50 houses are currently at risk of flooding.
Most local residents refuse to evacuate. Currently, excess water is pumped out with pumps to reduce the risk of flooding. Specialists fill the dam with 6 dump trucks. The footage shows that the dam itself consists of sandbags, tires and waterproof flooring. It is also noticeable that a part of this structure was allegedly washed away.
According to local reports, some of the city's roads are heavily flooded, making it difficult for cars to move.
At the same time, the administration of Dalnerechensk denied the information about the breach of the dam in the area of the Meat Processing Plant. Previously, it was written on the network that the Myasokombinat area is flooding due to an open sluice behind the LDK microdistrict.
But, according to the administration, water is being released beyond the LDK to avoid flooding of the southern streets of the microdistrict.
"The flow of water from the sluice is very small compared to the large and overflowing Malynyvka River. "Malynivka is overflowing because of a big wave that filled the river from the hills and mountains of the Primorsky Krai," says the city administration.
At the same time, the locals claim that the water coming from the lock does not affect the rise in the water level in Malynivka and Myasokbinati.
Videos of the dam before the breach have also appeared, which confirm this fact. Its current state does not look like an open gateway. It is noted that the dam consists of tires and bags.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations reported that 3 residential buildings and 535 plots of land have already been flooded in the region. Rescuers have already pumped out 300 cubic meters of water and transported more than 200 people.
