TRAFFIC VIA MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY CONNECTING RUSSIA WITH GEORGIA AND ARMENIA RESTORED

Beginning with this morning, the traffic at one of the mountain highways connecting Russia with Georgia and Armenia is restored. As reported by Georgian media, the route was closed yesterday due to snow slide in Alagir gorge of North Osetia. According to the sources, no one suffered in the incident. The meteorological services of North Osetia do not rule out repetition of slide due to the region having unusual warm weather for this season.
