Disappearance after an unusual order
In Dagestan, the search is underway for a third day for 34-year-old Dinara Alkhasova, who stopped making contact after a trip with an unknown passenger.

On the morning of October 30, she received an unusual order from Makhachkala to a neighboring city — reportedly from a man.

In August, in Derbent, 16-year-old Seidsura Seidova left home and stopped making contact; the police joined the search and asked residents of the republic for help. In addition, in August 2026, information emerged that a woman resembling Anna Tsomartova, who went missing in Dagestan in February 2024, may have been spotted in Buynaksk — her mother reported this, citing a tip received by the 112 emergency service; at that time there was no confirmation that witnesses had actually seen the young woman.
