Gas supply to Dagestani villages has been restored.
Gas supply to eight villages in the Tabasaran district, which was interrupted after a landslide, has been restored.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," late in the evening of May 30, a landslide occurred in the village of Churlaf in the Tabasaran district, damaging an inter-village gas pipeline. There was no gas leak, but residents of eight villages were left without gas: Churdaf, Kyureg, Chile, Karag, Uluz, Kuzhing, Gulli, and Urzib.
Gas supply to villages in the Tabasaran District has been temporarily restored, the Dagestan Ministry of Energy reported on its Telegram channel on May 31.
"Repair work has been postponed—the gas pipeline is planned to be rerouted," the publication explained.
A similar incident occurred on May 30 in the Buinaksk District. There, a landslide occurred near the village of Chankurbe and damaged a gas pipeline. Residents of five villages (Kadar, Karamakhi, Chankurbe, Vanashimakhi, and Chabanmakhi) were left without gas. Gas supply was restored the same day.
In late March and early April, dozens of road sections in Dagestan were closed after floods, landslides, and, in mountainous areas, avalanches and snowstorms. On May 17, Dagestanavtodor reported that heavy rainfall in March worsened landslides on the Tsurib-Archib highway in the Charodinsky District, and landslide cleanup was halted due to the threat of complete collapse of the slope and the highway above it. A road reconstruction bypassing the dangerous section is planned.
The floods that occurred in the North Caucasus this spring were among the most destructive in recent years. Six people, including three minors, died as a result of flooding in Dagestan. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the disaster, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026."
The Caucasian Knot has compiled materials about flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
