ALMATY, Kazakhstan — Heavy rain and melting snow have caused severe floods across a region of Kazakhstan neighboring China, inundating villages and killing at least 25 people, officials said Friday.
Southern Kazakhstan was affected by unusually intense snowfalls this winter, and fast-rising temperatures are causing major flooding and mudslides across the region.
A dam at the Kyzyl-Agash reservoir in the eastern Almaty region ruptured Thursday, pouring water into several nearby villages and affecting 3,000 residents, the Emergency Services Ministry said.
