The death toll from the massive flooding in Dagestan, triggered by heavy rainfall, has reached seven. The Investigative Committee has opened two criminal cases for causing death by negligence (Article 109 of the Russian Criminal Code).

A 200-meter-long landslide occurred in the village of Ilskhan-Yurt in the Kurchaloy District of the Chechen Republic. Eight houses were damaged. Round-the-clock monitoring of residential buildings continues, according to a district administration representative.

Due to deteriorating weather conditions, which have led to mudflows and avalanches in several regions of Azerbaijan, the Ministry of Emergency Situations urges the public to remain vigilant. The likelihood of hazardous events remains high until April 7. Citizens are strongly advised to immediately move to higher ground if a threat arises.

Dagestan has been ravaged by catastrophic flooding, claiming yet more lives. In the village of Mamedkala, a girl and a child died after being rescued from a river following the dam breach of the Gejukha Reservoir. Earlier, in the village of Kirki, the body of a dead woman was found under the rubble of a house that collapsed due to a landslide.

In the village of Kirki in Dagestan, the body of a dead woman was found under the rubble of a house that collapsed due to a landslide. A man was also injured. This was reported by TASS, citing Zapir Gasanov, head of the Kaitag district.

Heavy rains have caused further flooding in Dagestan. They have flooded the streets of Makhachkala, including the area near the Primorskaya substation, as well as sections of the Kavkaz federal highway and roads in the Derbent district.

Emergency vaccination against viral hepatitis A has begun in flood-affected areas of Dagestan. The regional office of Rospotrebnadzor (Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing) announced this, emphasizing that the measure was introduced due to the increased risk of infection spread in emergency zones.

The impact of flooding and waterlogging in Dagestan and Chechnya is preliminarily estimated at over 1 billion rubles. Speaking at a meeting in Dagestan, Yuri Chaika, the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District, demanded that the republic's authorities promptly prepare and submit to the government commission documents substantiating the material damage.

Construction of houses for people left homeless by the natural disaster that struck the republic in late March has already begun in Chechnya. Work is underway in the village of Novy Benoy in the Gudermes District, where individual houses are already being erected, while foundations are being poured in other areas, and necessary utilities are being installed.

Over 43,000 residents of Dagestan affected by the floods have submitted applications for payments. However, approximately half of these applications (24,000) will not be processed because the applicants did not provide an address. This prevents the payment of 15,675 rubles from being awarded to each affected person.
