'Putin Help Us'! Protest Erupts in Orsk Over Dam Collapse and Flooding Disaster
Tension grips Russia's Orsk city as residents rally in protest following severe flooding along the Ural River
The residents of the western Bulgarian city of Pernik spent another sleepless night outside on the streets, some in their automobiles, in the aftermath of the strongest earthquake to hit Bulgaria in the last 100 years.
The City Hall and school buildings also sheltered people for whom food has been provided. Locals continue to be very frightened over rumors spreading on social networks that a new, very strong earthquake is looming in the next days.
Pernik Mayor, Rositsa Yanakieva, speaking for the largest private TV channel bTV, informed that the emergency situation is still effective Wednesday morning and is expected to be lifted at noon.
The emergency headquarters met at the City Hall in the morning and requested the extension until noon over the complicated weather situation, which came on top of the aftershocks.
Torrential rains hit the city and the region at 1 pm Wednesday and are continuing, hurdling the assessment of the damage.
Schools are closed in the Pernik region Wednesday. Experts continue to assess the damage.
