A powerful and destructive tornado swept through Minsk, Belarus on July 22, 2023, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake after a day of heavy rain, thunderstorms, and squally winds. The Zaslavsky reservoir was engulfed by a hurricane, and the fury of the storm was captured on video as tornadoes formed over Zhdanovichi and moved towards the Minsk Sea. In the midst of this chaos, two families of Minsk residents who had sought shelter in a gazebo found themselves in a perilous situation as the structure threatened to collapse under the force of the wind. Thankfully, quick-thinking fellow vacationers came to their rescue, preventing a potential disaster. However, in another part of the area, tragedy struck as trees fell on a group of young people enjoying a day out in the open. One young girl lost her life, while two others sustained injuries. Emergency workers from the Ministry of Emergencies swiftly responded, and their efforts continue as they assess the damage and clear fallen trees near the village of Zarechye-1. The city and its residents now begin the process of recovery and healing after this harrowing natural calamity.
