The death toll from recent floods in Poland has climbed to nine after authorities discovered two more bodies, national police chief Marek Boron announced Saturday.
Speaking at a government meeting on the flood’s impact, Boron also reported that one person remains missing. The floods, which followed torrential rains earlier this month, primarily affected southwestern Poland, inundating houses and damaging bridges and roads in the towns of Stronie Slaskie, Nysa, and numerous surrounding villages.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk had previously confirmed that among the deceased was a German citizen, underlining the international impact of the disaster.
The recent floods in Poland are part of a broader weather crisis that has affected Central Europe. More than 20 people have died across the region due to flood-related incidents.
