Residents of 11 villages in Dagestan were left without gas after the landslide.

A landslide damaged the gas pipeline in the Tsumadinsky district, resulting in the suspension of gas supply to residents of 11 villages.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in early October, traffic was blocked in five districts of Dagestan (Akhtynsky, Dakhadayevsky, Kaytagsky, Tlyaratinsky, and Charodinsky) on six sections of roads after landslides, mudflows, and debris flows.

The emergency shutdown of gas supply occurred in the Tsumadinsky district, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Dagestan reported today on its website.

"As a result of the landslide between the settlements of Gigatli Uruh and Agvali, gas pipes were damaged, which is why 11 settlements were left without gas supply (Kochali, Gigikh, N. Gakvari, Tindi, Tissi, Tissi-akhitli, Khushtada, Tlondoda, Kvanada, Gimerso, Richaganikh)," the publication states.

Six people from the branch of "Gazprom gas distribution Dagestan" are participating in the emergency recovery work. "A total of 15 people and 4 units of equipment have been mobilized from the RSChS," the message notes.

Recall that on April 20, three villages in the Tsumadinsky district were blocked after a landslide occurred on the road to the village of Khvarshi. The next day, transport communication with the villages of Santlada, Khvarshi, and Khonok was restored.

Floods caused by heavy rains were observed in the North Caucasus in March-April and became some of the most destructive in recent years. As a result of the flooding, six residents of Dagestan died, including three minors. In addition, on April 13, a 19-year-old volunteer Artem Mikhrabov died in the hospital. Dagestan and Chechnya were the most affected by the elements, according to the report of the "Caucasian Knot" "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus-2026".

Materials on flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 were collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
