Russian dam bursts forcing thousands to evacuate in flood-hit southern region

Thousands of Russians were forced to evacuate their homes after an embankment dam ruptured in Orsk, a city in the southern Orenburg region near Kazakhstan.

The Ural River overflowed the dam, claiming at least three lives and prompting the evacuation of over 4,000 people, including over a thousand children.

Nearly 2,400 residential buildings were flooded as water reached several districts of the city.

The breach, attributed to poor maintenance of the hydraulic structure, led to a criminal investigation, CNN reported.
