In the Chechen Republic, a powerful hurricane swept through several areas, leaving behind damaged billboards, damaged roofs, downed trees, and disrupted power lines. Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya, described the event via his official Telegram channel, noting the severity of the storm and the immediate response that followed.
According to the statement, the hurricane brought heavy rainfall and hail in certain locales. Kadyrov said he had ordered emergency services to begin assessing the damage and to move quickly to address the consequences. The message emphasized that relevant agencies had shifted into emergency mode to coordinate rescue efforts, repair work, and support for affected residents.
The situation was reported to have developed as the capital city, Grozny, faced the brunt of the storm on September 6. Residents observed roofs being torn from houses and trees toppled by strong winds. Streets in Grozny were flooded as a result of the heavy rainfall, and episodes of large hail further compounded the damage in several districts. Recovery crews were dispatched to clear debris, restore essential services, and assess the structural integrity of buildings as the storm subsided.
Officials indicated that damage extended beyond residential structures to public infrastructure, with power lines and communication networks experiencing interruptions in parts of the city. Emergency responders and local authorities coordinated to establish temporary shelters, distribute essential supplies, and provide targeted assistance to households most affected by the disaster. The emphasis remained on rapid damage assessment, securing unsafe sites, and restoring normal daily life as swiftly as possible.
A final note from Aleksei Kadyrov’s administration reflected on the broader impact of the natural event within the region. While the hurricane brought fierce weather conditions, the leadership committed to transparent reporting, ongoing situational updates, and a comprehensive recovery plan that prioritizes safety, housing, and the restoration of critical services for residents across the Chechen Republic.
