Lerik. Aghaddin Babayev – APA. A landslide has occurred at the 27th km of the Lankaran-Lerik highway in Azerbajan.
The landslide is believed to have been caused by days of rainfall in the region. The mud coming down from the mountains reached the highway, causing difficulty in the movement of vehicles. The highway’s upper lay also slid. As a result, part of the highway has narrowed.
A concerned official said in a statement to APA that heavy machinery and manpower have been sent to the site to repair the damaged part of the highway.
