These days Belarus is experiencing powerful winds, with speeds reaching 24 meters per second in some places.

The bad weather caused a lot of trouble: fallen trees, damaged cars, and many settlements without power.

Currently, power engineers continue to restore electricity supply in regions affected by the raging natural disaster.

As reported by the press service of the Ministry of Energy on its official telegram channel, today, November 2, a powerful squall wind knocked trees down onto power lines.

As a result, they broke and the supports were damaged.
