Floods in Shkodra, the first military vehicles arrive

The heavy trees in the Drin and Bun rivers as a result of intense rainfall have caused floods in the Shkodra area.

Mayor Voltana Ademi earlier requested military assistance after the Obot village route has become impassable and residents have been isolated.

After the mayor's appeal, the first means of Armed Forces have been seen in the area.

Hydrometry on the Buna River shows an increase in levels of 5.80m while the Obot route is impassable because of the height of 60cm water, and 30 ha of land has been flooded, writes the Ora News.

In the village of Shirq, at the site called Urrela and Mushan, water has flooded 489 ha of land.
