In Tatarstan, a man and a child drowned after a paddleboard overturned.

      As a result of a paddleboard capsizing on the Volga, two people drowned. This was reported by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for Tatarstan. Near the "Shchuryachiy" gardening non-profit partnership in the Oktyabrsky settlement of the Zelenodolsk district, two adults and three children were paddleboarding on the river. After the capsizing, everyone fell into the water, and the children began to drown. An eight-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy were rescued. A 34-year-old man died while trying to save a drowning four-year-old child. Arriving divers surveyed 6,000 square meters of the water area. At a distance of 50 meters from the shore and at a depth of 8 meters, they discovered and retrieved the bodies of the four-year-old boy and the man. The deceased were not wearing life jackets. The preliminary cause of the incident is a violation of safety rules for protecting people's lives on water bodies. The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Tatarstan reminded about the mandatory use of life jackets. On vessels up to 4 meters long, a life jacket must be worn by each person during movement and while stationary. On non-deck devices—water skis, "bananas," paddleboards—a life jacket is mandatory during movement. Children under 12 years old on all open deck and non-deck vessels must wear life jackets and be supervised by adults.
