/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The Transcaucasian highway connecting Russia and
South Caucasus via North Ossetia was closed because of avalanche.
"The decision to block the highways is conditioned by abundant
snowfalls and avalanche threat. Weather conditions don’t allow securing
traffic on the pass," said the North Ossetian Ministry of Emergency
Situations, RIA Novosti reports.
