Watch a huge sinkhole open up in Siberia, close to one of the biggest ski resorts in the country - leaving a single house stranded on the edge
A spokesperson for the Tashtagolsky district said: "The subsidence of the earth's surface within the boundaries of the mining allotment of the Sheregesh mine was predictable."Houses No. 14, 16, 18 and 20 along Pervomayskaya Street were resettled, an asphalt road and a municipal water conduit were moved to Old Sheregesh, and the Lapinsky stream was diverted."Operations at the mine have been suspended, and a local road has been closed.
Houses in the area were largely holiday homes, according to local media. Sheregesh, a nearby ski resort, is one of the most famous in Russia and is known for its annual swimsuit skiing competition. Russian news agency Interfax reported that the mine was operated by steel company Evraz, which was sanctioned in March because of its vital importance to the Russian war effort.The British government said at the time: "The steel manufacturing and mining company operates in sectors of strategic significance to the Government of Russia.
"Evraz plc produce 28% of all Russian railway wheels and 97% of rail-tracks in Russia. This is of vital significance as Russia uses rail to move key military supplies and troops to the frontline in Ukraine.
