Russian authorities declared a state of emergency in the republic of Dagestan following severe flooding that has left 327,000 people without electricity. Heavy rains across the North Caucasus region caused widespread power outages, prompting emergency measures in the Muslim-majority republic bordering the Caspian Sea. Dagestan, one of Russia's federal subjects in the volatile North Caucasus, has been hit by infrastructure failures as floodwaters disrupted the electrical grid throughout the mountainous territory.
