Emergency crews in Azerbaijan have evacuated 33 people after heavy rainfall triggered flooding in Baku, Sumgayit and the Absheron district, authorities said.
According to officials, floodwaters inundated residential zones, prompting urgent evacuations to safer locations. Among those rescued were several children.
Emergency units have been deployed across multiple districts, including Binagadi and Surakhani in Baku, where residents were left stranded in flooded yards and homes.
Rescue teams are continuing to pump water out of submerged areas, evacuate vulnerable residents, and carry out other safety measures as conditions evolve.
Authorities say operations remain underway, with additional assistance being provided to those still in need.
