River Svislach Blocked In Minsk

There are spills of petroleum products on the water.

Minsk rescuers have fenced off a section of the river Svislach in the centre of the city to eliminate a rainbow-colored stain.

The rainbow-colored chemical stain appeared near the place where the Niamiha flows into the river and ends at the place where the Svislach is fenced off with a yellow arm.

Two divers and a small crowd of curious passers-by were standing near the stain in the evening of January 26, writes Green Portal.
