Death toll of Tbilisi flood reaches 12

TBILISI. June 14 (Interfax) - The death toll of the flood in the Georgian capital Tbilisi has reached 12 people, city mayor David Narmania told the media on Sunday afternoon quoting the latest reports.

The effort to catch the animals that fled from the local zoo continues, he added.

"Not all animals that fled from the zoo have been caught yet. Therefore I would ask the population to refrain from moving in the city without the acutest need," he said.

He said that the evaluation of the scope of the damage has begun.
