Access to a Dagestani village has been restored.

Workers cleared the road to the village of Fite in the Agulsky District, which was blocked after a landslide.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by May 16, the number of villages left without transport links had grown to nine after the road to the village of Fite in the Agulsky District was blocked due to a landslide. In the Charodinsky District, eight villages remained blocked: Shalib, Alchunib, Archib, Keseribe, Khilih, Khitab, Kalib, and Kubatl.

In the Agulsky District, a temporary scheme has been established for traffic on a section of the Goa-Fite highway, Dagestanavtodor reported on its Telegram channel on the evening of May 16.

"Work to clear the road to its full width continues. Transportation to the village of Fite has been restored," the publication stated.

Later, the agency added that one section of the road in the republic remains completely closed to traffic. As of 7:45 a.m. Moscow time, Dagestanavtor had not reported whether transport links to the villages of the Charodinsky District had been restored.

As a reminder, on April 26, traffic on the Tsurib-Archib road was also closed following a rockfall. Access to 16 villages in the Charodinsky District was blocked, and road clearing was complicated by repeated landslides. Later, traffic on the Tsurib-Archib road was restored using a temporary scheme.

In late March and early April, dozens of road sections in Dagestan were closed after floods, landslides, and, in mountainous areas, after avalanches and snowstorms. 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".
