Around 10,000 homes, including some 7,000 in Orsk, were flooded in the Orenburg region due to rising Ural River water levels. Protests erupted in Orsk demanding compensation after a dam collapse, with hundreds gathered at the administrative building.
Russia declared a federal emergency in the flood-hit areas of Orenburg. The governor promised compensation payments to those displaced by the floods. A criminal probe is underway for suspected dam construction violations.
