The waters of the Ob River valley, a critical watercourse in this region, submerged so many homes that authorities were compelled to initiate evacuations.

Belsat reports that a significant rise in water levels led to the declaration of a state of emergency, and 127 homes in 37 communities were inundated.

Affected areas include the cities of Kamień on the Ob, Sławgorod, and the regions surrounding Burła, Blagoveshchensk, and Novoaltaysk.
