State of Emergency Declared in Parts of the Russian Far East Following Typhoon Khanun

Russian agencies reported that a "state of emergency has been declared in nine municipalities in the Russian Far East today, Saturday, following heavy rains on villages after Typhoon Khanun hit Japan last week." It was mentioned that "32 residential areas were cut off, and 543 homes along with vast stretches of roads were flooded by Saturday morning in the Russian Far East, a region in the far east of Russia and the Asian continent." The agency noted that "water breached a dam that had been built to contain flooding in the city of Ussuriysk, about one hundred kilometers north of Vladivostok." Additionally, it was added that "rain is expected in some parts of the region this week, reaching twice the amount of rainfall typically seen in a month."
