"Electricity was cut off in Sukhum, Gudauta and Gagra districts," the report said.

Power outages were recorded in Tkuarchala, as well as in Ochamchyrsky and Gulrypshsky districts.

It is specified that wind gusts are accompanied by a sandstorm, which impairs visibility on the roads. Several trees fell in the Taras Shamba Park in Sukhum and on the highway towards the village of Duripsh.

Later it became known that the electricity supply to parts of Sukhum and Gagra had been restored. According to Sputnik, Chernomorenergo continues to monitor the development of the situation.
