The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on June 5 electricity supplies failed in two settlements of the mountainous Vedeno District of Chechnya, which was caused by an accident in a large forest, where a tree dropped and broke the line. The supply failure affected two major settlements of the district - Vedeno and Makhkety.
