The Ural River was flooding Orsk, so Russia declared a 'federal emergency' in southern Orenburg, forcing thousands of people to flee. The 2,428-kilometer Ural River separates Europe and Asia on a continental scale. It flows through Kazakhstan and Russia. It empties into the Caspian Sea after emerging from the Ural Mountains. It is mainly fed by melting snow and has a distinct digitate delta. It is significant as the third-longest river in Europe, with 58 tributaries.
