Rooftop Ice, Snow Leave Two Dead, Over Dozen Injured in Russia
(MENAFN) Fatal incidents involving snow and ice plummeting from building rooftops have claimed two lives and left 13 people wounded across Russia since January 1, 2026, the nation's emergencies ministry announced Saturday.
The Russian emergencies ministry reported 44 documented structural failures—roofs buckling under extreme snow accumulation—as of February 13, signaling a mounting public safety emergency.
Authorities issued an urgent directive demanding immediate snow removal operations, particularly targeting high-risk zones including schools, hospitals, and densely populated public venues. The ministry emphasized that swift, synchronized action between regional authorities and municipal governments is critical to prevent further casualties.
Weather data indicates January 2026 shattered snowfall records in Moscow, marking the capital's heaviest accumulation in more than two decades.
The ministry's warning comes as emergency crews race against continuing winter conditions to prevent additional roof collapses and falling ice incidents that pose threats to pedestrians nationwide.
