Flooding caused by heavy rains has been ongoing in the North Caucasus since late March, and has become some of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the natural disaster, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".

On April 9, the state of emergency in Dagestan and Chechnya due to the flooding situation was raised from regional to federal.

The flooding caught residents of the Khasavyurt district by surprise, and they were forced to hastily evacuate, leaving their belongings behind, villagers told the "Caucasian Knot". "About 200 sheep drowned, the house was destroyed, and everything was left under the rubble. Of the three houses in the yard, only two rooms remain, and they are damaged," complained Isita, a resident of the village of Adilyotar.

Each flood victim in Dagestan is receiving financial assistance of 15,600 rubles. Financial assistance for loss of essential property is also provided: 78,735 rubles per person if property is partially lost, and 156,750 rubles per person if property is completely lost. Compensation for damage to health ranges from 313,000 to 627,000 rubles. For the death of a person, authorities have promised 1,567,500 rubles to the family members of the deceased.

About 1.5 million residents of Dagestan were caught in the devastating flood zone. Six residents of the republic, including three minors, died as a result of the flooding. Moreover, more than 6,200 people were affected by flooding in Dagestan, the head of the republic Sergey Melikov reported on April 7.
