Authorities in Dagestan have banned the online publication of photographs and information about certain objects and events, citing security concerns. The ban includes images of bridges, air defense systems, the aftermath of drone attacks, as well as information about the type, launch location, crash site, and flight path of drones. The corresponding decree was signed by the head of the republic, Sergey Melikov.
Many Dead Seals Found in Dagestan Again

Experts from the Ministry of Natural Resources of Dagestan have again discovered a large number of dead seals on the Caspian Sea coast. Experts have stated that underwater earthquakes and gas emissions along their migration route may be one of the probable causes of the animals' deaths.
Earlier, cases of mass deaths of seals were noted not only on the Caspian coast in the waters of Dagestan, but also in Kalmykia and Kazakhstan.
In 2023, dead Caspian seals were found in the Leninsky district of Makhachkala. Eight endangered animals were lying on the territory of the Oasis beach.
In 2022, 2.5 thousand corpses of rare seals washed up on the Caspian coast in Dagestan. Their dead carcasses could not be removed for a long time. At first, the cause of the seals' death was called the release of methane into the sea. Then a version appeared according to which the seals could have died en masse due to bird flu.
In 2008, the International Union for Conservation of Nature assigned the Caspian seal the status of endangered. In 2020, the animal was listed in the Red Book of Russia.
