Storm in Belarus kills man, leaves settlements without electricity
MINSK, July 19 (Itar-Tass) - Over 140 settlements have remained without electricity as a result of a strong storm in Belarus on Wednesday. A man was killed by lightning in the Mogilev region, sources from the Belarussian Ministry for Emergency Situations told Itar-Tass on Thursday.
The Mogilev region and some areas of the Minsk region were particularly hit. Strong wind with gusts up to 23 meters per second with downpour and a thunderstorm damaged power transmission lines, roofs of over 80 houses and over 60 agricultural facilities.
Active repair work is underway in all these areas. Electricity supply was restored to almost all settlements by Thursday morning.
