M-6 international highway has been reopened after the flooding caused by the overflow of the Debed River. The “Highway Department” has released photos documenting the aftermath of the heavy rain that occurred in the Lori and Tavush regions on May 26. The overflow resulted in the submersion of roads, bridges, buildings, and vehicles, leading to the evacuation of residents.
