As a result of the collapse of a powerful cyclone and wind gusts of up to 35 m/s, Yuzhno-Kurilsk was de-energized. This was announced on December 15 by the administration of the South Kurilsky Municipal District in the Telegram channel.

"Damage to the power line was recorded, and therefore consumers were de-energized before emergency recovery work was carried out," the statement said.

Damage to the roof and facade of apartment buildings is also reported. The opportunity to carry out restoration work will appear only after the weather conditions improve.
