More than half a million people were left without water supply after an accident at a substation in the Primorsky Territory. This was reported by the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the region, TASS reports.
“According to updated data, 3,660 apartment buildings and about 16.5 thousand private houses with a population of more than 650 thousand people, as well as 224 socially significant facilities remain without water supply,” the department said.
It is noted that work to restore water supply is under the control of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Primorsky Territory.

Chairman of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Yuri Kulchin, told RIA Novosti that the increase in the number of encounters with sharks off the coast of the Primorsky Territory is associated with warming of the World Ocean by one and a half degrees, and advised installing anti-shark nets in recreation areas.

About 80 brown bears live in the forests of the Moscow region, 30-40 of them are permanent, the rest come temporarily from neighboring regions. The increase in numbers is associated with the inclusion of the species in the Red Book and a ban on hunting.

In the Primorsky Territory, more than 650 thousand people and 224 socially significant facilities were left without water supply due to an accident at a power plant. In the village of Shtykovo, 14 apartment buildings and 144 private houses with a population of more than a thousand people were cut off.

Academician Yuri Kulchin said that due to global warming of the ocean, sharks will continue to come to the shores of Primorye, which could affect salmon populations in Sakhalin and Kamchatka, but open up new opportunities in Yakutia. He noted that anti-shark nets can be used in recreation areas, and scientists can provide recommendations on their installation.

In the Krasnochikoysky district of Transbaikalia, four bears that posed a threat to the population were eliminated in one day. Game wardens quickly responded to the appearance of predators; authorities called on residents to temporarily refrain from visiting the forests and observe safety measures.
