How to сообщает According to the Primorsky Krai Ministry of Emergency Situations, 543 private homes, 1429 garden plots, and 40 sections of roads were flooded in 13 municipalities across 70 settlements. Water blocked the road to 32 settlements. A state of emergency has been declared in 14 settlements. Rescuers continue to evacuate residents from Ussuriysk and other flooded settlements. Water also washed away a bridge in the village of Blagovatnoye in the Khorolsky District.

Mayor of Ussuriysk Evgeny Korzh рассказал, that the hole in the dam that formed during the flood cannot yet be repaired.

"I don't think there's a serious risk associated with the breach. We've warned everyone and evacuated everyone. Everything's fine, so to speak. There's no way to fix the hole at this point. If we try to patch it up now, the entire dam could burst. Thankfully, the water hasn't reached the apartments yet. Unfortunately, the garages have flooded. The situation is generally under control, even though, as you can imagine, we've had 270 mm of rainfall, which is a lot of water," said Evgeny Korzh.

"Is there no serious danger due to the breakthrough?" one local resident wrote in the comments section of a news story quoting the mayor. "Because he doesn't live there and it wasn't his property that was flooded."

Let's add that the breached dam was unfinished. How пишет According to Deita.ru, Evgeny Korzh inspected the dam a month ago. The neighborhood was also flooded then, as the contractor "was slightly behind schedule," but promised to "complete the work in the coming days" to protect the area from flooding. The work was supposed to be completed by the end of July.
