Access to a mountain village in Dagestan has been unblocked.

Workers cleared a road to a village in the Kurakhsky District, which had been without transport since May 25th due to rising river water levels.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," two villages in the Kurakhsky District – Ursun and Khpyuk – were left without transport on May 24th. By the morning of May 25th, the road to another village in the Kurakhsky District was blocked due to rising river water levels and landslides. By May 27, workers had cleared the road to the villages of Ursun and Khpyuk. Only one village remained without transport links, blocked due to a blocked road, "the access road from the Kasumkent-Kurakh highway to the village of Bakhtsug."

On June 5, there were no more blockaded settlements in Dagestan, Dagestanavtodor reported on its Telegram channel.

According to the agency's publications, this road had not been unblocked in the previous days. "The road 'Access from the Kasumkent-Kurakh highway to the village of Bakhtsug' is temporarily closed due to rising water levels in the Kurakh River. One settlement remains without transport service. Work to restore traffic will begin once the river level recedes," the department reported daily.

As a reminder, in late March and early April, dozens of road sections in Dagestan were closed after floods, landslides, and, in mountainous areas, avalanches and snowstorms. The floods that occurred in 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".
