Nearly 100 Communities in Dagestan Left Without Power After Storm
Power cuts affected 89 towns and villages in Dagestan on Monday after severe weather caused a local grid failure. The disruption highlights the republic’s vulnerability to utility failures, amid concerns about ageing infrastructure.
Two days of heavy rain, snow and high winds preceded the outages, but officials had not said how many people were affected or where the cuts were concentrated. Repair crews were working to restore electricity, with work expected to finish around 8pm Moscow time; in 2024, Dagestan’s housing ministry estimated that 70% of municipal infrastructure was critically worn out.
In short
- Storm damage left 89 Dagestan communities without electricity.
- Repair crews expected to restore power by 8pm Moscow time.
- Officials have not said how many people were affected.
