A Dagestan resident died after a landslide.

In the village of Kirki in the Kaytag district of Dagestan, a landslide destroyed a house, killing a local resident. Two other houses were damaged, and five are at risk of collapse.

In the village of Kirki in the Kaytag district, a landslide occurred due to heavy rains. One person is missing, according to district head Zapir Gasanov. According to him, the landslide completely destroyed one house, and two others were damaged. Five buildings are at risk.

In another message, he reported the death of Kistaman Mazanova and sent a message to her family. "The Kaitag District Administration is ready to provide all necessary support to the family of Kistaman Abdulkhalikovna Mazanova," the district head wrote.

The Telegram channel "Tut Dagestan" also published a video showing a powerful stream demolishing a house.

The Investigative Committee of Russia for Dagestan reported on its Telegram channel about a criminal case under Article 109 of the Russian Criminal Code (causing death by negligence).

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, a state of emergency is in effect in 12 municipalities of Dagestan due to flooding. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as of April 4, more than 1,000 residential buildings and 1,100 private plots remained flooded. Today, rains triggered a new round of flooding. Specifically, in Makhachkala, sections of city streets and the area around the Primorskaya substation, which supplies electricity to residents of the Reduktorny settlement and the Palmira microdistrict, were flooded.

In Dagestan, flooding damaged residential buildings, appliances, furniture, and cars. Makhachkala residents complained of problems with electricity and water supplies, transportation accessibility, and a lack of communication with emergency services. Dagestan and Chechnya were hardest hit by the natural disaster in the North Caucasus, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".

According to the Caucasian Knot weather service, rain is expected today in the village of Madzhalis, home to the Kaitag District administration, and will intensify to heavy rain overnight. Light rain is expected tomorrow. The weather service is a partnership between Caucasian Knot and Gismeteo. The service allows you to correct meteorological data for a more accurate forecast. The service is also available in a light version and in the Caucasian Knot apps for Android and AndroidGO.

As a reminder, financial assistance of 15,600 rubles is provided for each flood victim in Dagestan, the republic's authorities announced on March 31. Compensation has also been announced for those who have lost property, health, or loved ones. By April 2, the republic's authorities had received more than four thousand applications for compensation for damage caused by the flood.

The Caucasian Knot has compiled materials on flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
