The supply of drinking water to stores in the Orenburg region has increased significantly. Federal retail chains are involved in the rapid delivery of additional volumes of necessary products to flood-affected regions.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, to monitor compliance with law and order in flood zones. Flood water approached the embankment of the railway tracks on the Nikel - New City section in the region of Orenberg.
