A state of emergency has been declared in the Elbrus district. Some residents of Tyrnyauz were evacuated, several dozen people were in a temporary accommodation center on July 22 and 23. About 700 subscribers in one of the Tyrnyauz microdistricts by the morning of July 24 remained without water and gas.

The state of emergency in the Elbrus district remains in place. Today, the Ministry of Emergency Situations employees continued to deliver technical water to residents of Tyrnyauz, and the municipal administration delivered bottled water. “As of 15:00, gas supply was partially restored. Water supply was restored under a temporary scheme,” the Ministry of Emergency Situations for Kabardino-Balkaria said in a statement.
