“In Andreevka, the evacuation of people to Zarubino has begun. At the moment, more than 500 people are being evacuated. Pacific Fleet ships will arrive at lunchtime and deliver them to Vladivostok. Evacuation flights will run for three days,” specified in the message.

Local residents spoke about the situation in the flooded village. According to them, now a long line of cars has formed there, which are preparing for evacuation. It is worth noting that a detachment of the Pacific Fleet in one transition from Zarubin to Vladivostok can transport 40 vehicles and about 700 people.

It is known that the Pacific Fleet detachment is headed by a large landing ship (BDK) “Nikolai Vilkov”.
