Putin Arrives In Chelyabinsk Region Affected By Wildfires

Vladimir Putin arrived in Magnitogorsk, and immediately went by helicopter, together with the leadership of the Chelyabinsk region, to the areas affected by forest fires.

One of the points on the route is the village of Dzhabyk. In July, it found himself on the path of the fiery front. All residents - about 700 people- were urgently evacuated. Additional forces were involved in extinguishing, an Il-76 firefighting aircraft. But the heat and wind were too strong. The village burned out almost entirely, and in total more than 70 houses in the region were destroyed by fire.
