In the Kartalinsky district of the Chelyabinsk region, lightning struck a herd of cows, which shepherds drove across the field between the villages of Annenskoye and Krasny Yar
The charge was so strong that a shepherd died along with a horse, a dog and three cows. “All this happened in front of the second shepherd. He immediately rode his horse to the nearest village to report the incident to the police. The partner no longer required medical assistance, he died immediately. I have been working in Kartaly for 8 years, and this is the first time in my memory,”said Andrei Rodinov, head of the investigation department for the Kartalinsky district of the regional investigation department of the Russian Federation, to URA. Ru.
According to him, a pre-investigation check is being carried out on the fact of the state of emergency. “The herd belongs to one of the local agricultural enterprises, and now it is necessary to establish whether there was a violation of labor safety rules and whether it was necessary to overtake the herd in a thunderstorm,” Rodinov added.
We will remind that yesterday the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the region extended the storm warning announced in the region on July 5. Forecasters promised heavy rains, thunderstorms and hail. The forecasts were confirmed, at least for the Kartala region.
