Floods caused by heavy rains have been ongoing in the North Caucasus since late March, and they have become some of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026." On March 30, Ramzan Kadyrov reported that construction of 100 houses for flood victims had begun in the Gudermes District.
Landslides completely destroyed three private homes in the high-mountain village of Baitarki in the Nozhai-Yurtovsky District of Chechnya. Residents have been evacuated from 10 nearby houses, TASS reported on April 6, citing the district administration's press service.
