Thousands of homes in Russia’s Far East are still under water after Typhoon Khanun cleared. More than 4,300 houses in 16 cities, 5,600 properties and 43 road sections were flooded in the Primorye region on Sunday, according to the Russian Civil Protection. 28 places were cut off from the outside world by the floods. There were no reports of deaths or injuries.
More than 2,000 people were brought to safety, it said. Russia sent a task force to Primorsky Krai. This is to “coordinate the work to mitigate the effects of the flood,” the Moscow Emergency Situations Ministry wrote on Telegram. The ministry’s planes will provide humanitarian assistance and Mi-8 helicopters to assist rescuers on the scene.

The Russian border area with China, some 6,300 kilometers east of Moscow, was hit by heavy rainfall that caused streams and rivers to overflow their banks. A dam broke near the town of Spassk-Dalny. The water there slowly receded on Sunday, as reported by the Primorye administration. Due to the failure of transformer stations, many households were without power.
According to the local newspaper, a border crossing to China near the city of Ussuriysk was severely damaged. In Ussuriysk, the second largest city in Primorye, between 35 and 40 percent of the urban area was affected by the floods, Russian news agency TASS reported.
