“A group of scientists is leaving from Khabarovsk on Saturday,” he said.

According to Makhinov, the task of scientists is to determine the parameters of a landslide, its size under water, the size of the recess on the mound and the height of the water splash formed after the collapse of the soil.

They also intend to establish whether water passes through the dam and whether similar landslides are possible in the future.

Earlier in the Verkhnebureinsky district a state of emergency was introduced after the partial collapse of the fells into the Bureya River.

Khabarovsk Territory reported on the preparation of a new expedition to the Verkhnebureinsky district.
