Typhoon Rai in the Philippines killed 75 people, AFP reports. 10 people are considered missing. Earlier it was known about 20 dead.
In the Philippines, communications are still broken, so the data on the victims of the typhoon is not final. Bohol Province Governor Arthur Yap fears that the death toll may increase.
The typhoon reached the coast of the Philippines on Thursday 16 December. In places, wind gusts reached 185 km / h, the maximum recorded speed – 195 km / h. Local authorities tentatively estimated the damage to roads and bridges due to bad weather at 178.4 million Philippine pesos ($ 3.56 million). About 100-150 Russian citizens live in the areas where the typhoon passes, Yaroslav Pavlov, head of the consular department of the Russian Embassy in Manila, told RIA Novosti. It is not yet known whether there are any victims among them.
