In several localities in Aneni Noi district, several agricultural lands, gardens and wells were flooded, Moldova 1 reports.

In the village of Şerpeni, several households and hectares of agricultural crops were flooded.

The floods also affected train traffic. According to a press release of the Moldova’s Railway, on Moldova’s Northern segment of the Lipcani-Mămăliga due to the high water level, the train traffic on the affected parts was temporarily stopped. The other railway sectors in the region Ocniţa-Lipcani, Ocniţa-Vălcineţ, Prut-Cahul and Cahul-Giurgiuleşti affected by floods, are under the monitoring of specialists.
