The Russian Emergency Ministry said more than 250 people, including 28 children, were moved to temporary shelters.

April snow is common in the region, but storms of this strength are less frequent. Officials warned that more snowfall is likely on Tuesday, which could slow travel again. Conditions are expected to ease later in the week as temperatures rise. For now, crews remain on standby along key routes, while drivers have been urged to delay journeys and monitor local updates.
