Emergency service workers in Moscow have evacuated 200 people stranded by flooding on the city's streets, the TASS news agency reported Monday.

Some 80 people were rescued from their vehicles on Kaspiyskaya Ulitsa in the south of the capital.

Similar operations were carried out on Ulitsa Akademika Anokhina in the city's south-west, and on Ochakovskoye Shosse in the west.

Heavy rains began in Moscow on Sunday afternoon, with more than half of the average rainfall for August hitting the city in a single night. The rain is expected to continue until late Monday evening.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
