North Ossetian authorities will place restrictions on the number of vehicles that can enter the region. Regional head Sergey Menyailo plans to sign an order imposing the restrictions soon, according to the republic’s official website.
The decision to bar traffic was made in response to the “large accumulation of transport vehicles and citizens trying to cross the state border [with Georgia] on the republic’s territory,” the official statement reads. Local authorities specified that the restriction won’t apply to residents of North Ossetia.
Menyailo also reportedly plans to sign a decree putting the regional government in a state of increased readiness.
