Access to two villages in the mountains of Dagestan has been unblocked.

Workers have cleared the road to the villages of Ursun and Khpyuk, but residents of another village in the Kurakhsky District remain without transportation.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on May 24, two villages in the Kurakhsky District in Dagestan—Ursun and Khpyuk—were left without transportation. By the morning of May 25, after rising river levels and landslides, residents of another village in the Kurakhsky District and 13 villages in the Charodinsky District were left without transportation. This brings the total number of villages blocked to 16. By the morning of May 26, the road to the villages of the Charodinsky district was cleared, but three villages in the Kurakhsky district remained blocked.

As of 10:00 Moscow time on May 27, only one village remains without transport service, blocked due to the blocked road "access from the Kasumkent-Kurakh highway to the village of Bakhtsug," Dagestanavtodor reported on its Telegram channel.

"In the Kurakhsky district, on the section of the road "Access from the Kurakh-Usug-Khveredzh highway to the village of Khpyuk," vehicle access is provided under a temporary scheme. Transport service to the villages of Ursun and Khpyuk has been restored," the department's publication stated.

As a reminder, in late March and early April, dozens of sections Roads in Dagestan were closed after floods, landslides, and in mountainous areas, after avalanches and snowstorms. The floods that hit the North Caucasus this spring were among the most devastating in recent years. Six people, including three minors, died as a result of the flooding in Dagestan. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the natural 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".
