Just a few days after heavy flood washed away an earthen dam in Jahrom, Fars Province in southern Iran, a similar incident happened in Bardsir, Kerman Province near the country’s center.

The earthen dam of Bardsir is broken and water has run into the villages downstream to it, Mehr news agency reported February 18.

The villagers have been evacuated to prevent life disasters. Bardsir Governor Majid Najafpour said smaller embankments down from the dam were being washed away one by one as water ran its way to the town.
