A busted reservoir dam flooded parts of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, forcing tens of thousands from both countries to evacuate, authorities said Saturday.
The Syr Darya river, which runs near the border between the two countries, overflowed after the dam broke Friday, the Uzbek and Kazakh governments said.
About 70,000 people from 22 villages in Uzbekistan and 5,400 people from four Kazakhstan villages were moved out.
