The road to nine villages in Dagestan is blocked after a landslide.

A landslide damaged a section of road in the Charodinsky District, leaving residents of nine villages without transportation.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," dozens of road sections in Dagestan were closed after floods, landslides, and in mountainous areas, after avalanches and snowstorms. On April 22, after a landslide in the Charodinsky District, residents of seven villages were left without transportation.

From April 12 to 18, landslides destroyed 28 houses in the Dakhadaevsky District, and another 127 were partially damaged. About 200 people were evacuated. "Of course, there is significant damage, and other villagers have suffered even more. We help each other as best we can. It's too early to talk about compensation, but we hope there will be some payments," a resident of the village of Urkarakh told the "Caucasian Knot" on April 20.

In the Charodinsky District, a section of the Magar-Gilib highway was damaged by a landslide. Traffic there is temporarily closed, the Dagestanavtodor Telegram channel reported at 11:51 PM Moscow time on April 24.

"Transport links with the settlements of Nukush, Kutikh, Gilib, Goab, Ritlyab, Doronub, Karanub, Tlyarabazutl, and Tsemer have been interrupted," the publication stated.

According to data on the department's website, As of 6:00 PM Moscow time on April 24, there were no settlements in Dagestan without transportation links.

As a reminder, by April 24, authorities had received over 218,000 applications for assistance from affected residents of Dagestan. However, only 5,293 people—about 2.43% of applicants—had received payments.

"Caucasian Knot" has prepared a detailed guide to help you understand who is eligible for payments, the amounts provided, the documents required, and what to do if some documents are missing.

Floods caused by torrential rains began in the North Caucasus in late March and have become some of the most devastating in recent years. Six residents of Dagestan, including three minors, died as a result of the flood. Additionally, on April 13, a 19-year-old volunteer, who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury while helping residents of the Derbent district, died in the hospital.

Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the disaster, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".
