The explosion of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant (HPP) in the Kherson Region was intended to create a biological security threat, but, thanks to the work of experts, it was possible to avoid any complication of the epidemiological situation in the area, the head of Russia's consumer rights watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, told Sputnik.

"What happened at the Kakhovka HPP was aimed at creating a threat to biological security. Our employees continue to monitor the situation in this area," Popova said.

She also said that a special anti-epidemic mobile laboratory is working in the region to prevent possible issues.
"Providing water, providing food, providing temporary accommodation for people - all this, of course, made it possible to avoid any complications of an epidemiological nature," the official said.
Regular testing of samples of drinking water, water from wells, sea water and water in the North Crimean Canal for deviations from standard indicators continues, and as of yet, no pathogenic microorganisms have been identified, Popova specified.
She added that disinfection measures as well as supplies of vaccines and other medicines were arranged in the area.
