In Rostov-on-Don, the wall of a five-story residential building began to collapse; 80 residents were evacuated from the building. Interfax reports this with reference to the press service of the regional department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
After the house began to collapse, people were taken outside, and the building itself was disconnected from the power supply. There is no information about casualties. As the city administration clarified, there is a threat of collapse of the first entrance.
The building built in 1963 at 72/3 Narimanov Street was declared unsafe back in 2020, the Ministry of Emergency Situations added. In the local public page Privet-Rostov.ru on VKontakte they write that this happened a year earlier — in 2019 — however, “the residents have not yet been resettled, although the house is collapsing before our eyes.”
“Our house has been in disrepair for a long time. We have a roof… There are reeds growing there. Everything is falling apart. Every morning we walk, stones fall, but no one [does anything] for exactly four years,” one of the residents of the house on Narimanov told the Vesti Don channel.
