Water poured over the top of the dam locks at the Kialimskoye reservoir in the Chelyabinsk region in the afternoon (first video). Residents say they warned local authorities about a possible breakthrough, but no one listened. In the evening the dam broke.
The incident was facilitated by the Caspian cyclone, which flooded the region for several days. Now a state of emergency has been declared in the Karabash district, and buses are being prepared for evacuation. A section of the Miass-Karabash-Kyshtym highway from 35 to 38 km is also flooded.
