Fifteen animal burial sites, including two storing remains of animals killed by anthrax, have been flooded in the disaster-hit Russian Far East, a Russian minister said Saturday. However, tests found no evidence so far that anthrax bacteria have spread and contaminated any area outside the burial sites, Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said. Experts continue monitoring the areas for possible contamination, she added, speaking at a governmental meeting. Since late July, Russia’s far eastern territories have been affected by the worst flood in the 120-year-long history of meteorological records in the region. More than 100,000 people were displaced, 11,000 houses flooded, and total damages are estimated at 30 billion rubles ($1 billion). #4
