Rooftop snow slide in Syomino injures cat and shocks bystander
A sudden snow slide from a rooftop caused alarm in Syomino yesterday. The incident took place at 21 Chkalov Street, where a large sheet of snow crashed down without warning. One person and a cat were caught in the unexpected event.
The snow detached from the building's roof and fell heavily onto the pavement below. A woman sitting on a nearby bench was feeding a stray cat when the snow collapsed. She managed to move just in time, avoiding injury.
The cat, however, was not as fortunate. It was buried under the snow and suffered visible harm. Despite the incident, no official reports or public records mention any veterinary treatment for animals affected by the avalanche.
The woman escaped unharmed, but the cat required attention after being trapped. Authorities have not released further details about the building's condition or potential risks. The incident serves as a reminder of winter hazards in urban areas.
