Due to heavy rains, the Kokkoz and Belbek rivers began to overflow their banks, and three settlements in the Bakhchisarai region suffered from floods – Kuibyshevo, Sokolinoe and Golubinka. More than 60 households were flooded. One woman is missing. Earlier, the authorities reported that one person, according to preliminary data, was killed, another was injured.
Now the water in the bed of the Belbek River is decreasing, but the Crimean hydrometeorological center did not rule out a new flood due to nighttime precipitation.
