Two Dams Burst
An exciting week for breaking news. Apparently on Thursday and Friday two dams in Almaty province burst and thousands of people have been dislocated.
Thursday, a dam was washed away in the Karatalsky region of Almaty province after heavy snowfall melted. 820 people are currently being sheltered in a nearby school. Friday another dam burst at the water reservoir in the Aksuisky region. Kyzyl-Agash, a village with 3000 people, was flooded. Many evacuated in time but not everybody. As of this moment, there is no official reporting of who the victims are.
