About 200 employees of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (GIES) are involved in the aftermath of devastating downpours that covered the whole country on Tuesday evening.
According to the agency, the intervention of rescuers was needed in 13 settlements of Edinet, Falesti, Riscani, Balti, Glodeni, Soroca, Hincesti, Stefan-Vodskiy, Ialoveni, Oknitsa, Drochiev regions, as well as in the capital.
Employees of the GIES removed several fallen trees on local roads that blocked traffic in Edinet and other settlements and trees and branches that fell on cars.
Rescuers note that strong gusts of wind tore off the slate from the roofs of some houses and buildings. Most of the employees were involved in work in Edinet and Kupcini, where the wind uprooted the trees, blocking the main road arteries.
