What happened

More than 110 private plots have been flooded in settlements across the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) as rising river levels continue to affect parts of the republic, according to the regional office of Russia's Emergencies Ministry.

Why it matters

Common ground

"Near the village of Ust-Yansk in the Ust-Yansky district, 51 private plots have been flooded, while no residential buildings have been affected." The ministry added that a second flood wave is moving through the Aldan River basin in the Ust-Maysky district.
