A section of the glacier broke off and then slid down the gorge, but by 14:00 the situation was completely under control.
The size of the broken-off mass is approximately 2 kilometers in length, 25 meters in height, and 150-200 meters in width.
Preliminary data indicate that there were no casualties or significant damage as a result of the incident.
However, experts warn of potential threats to agriculture in the village of Gulrez due to ongoing rains and the possibility of further glacier break-offs.
Local authorities and rescue services continue to monitor the situation and are ready to respond quickly to any changes.
The Ismoil Somoni glacier is one of the largest glacial systems in the highlands of Tajikistan.
Specialists link the incident to climate change, which increases the risk of natural disasters in the region. The reduction in glacier volume could lead to serious ecological and economic consequences in the future.
This event once again raises the issue of the importance of paying attention to climate change and its impact on glaciers and the ecological situation in the region.
Currently, work is ongoing to analyze further events and develop possible measures to prevent catastrophic consequences.
