Kukes under the power of the snowstorm: Traffic problems and power shortages
Kukës was hit by a powerful snowstorm this Sunday, creating difficult winter conditions for residents. Strong winds from the north to the southeast, accompanied by heavy snowfall, have lowered temperatures to -3°C.

The thickness of the snow in the city has exceeded 10 cm, while in the mountainous areas it reaches up to 30 cm. The wind has created large accumulations of snow in the valleys, where the thickness exceeds one meter, making movement even more difficult.

National roads are reported to be experiencing severe traffic congestion. Authorities are urging drivers to exercise extreme caution and, if possible, avoid unnecessary travel.

Meanwhile, the situation is aggravated by the lack of electricity. The city of Kukës has been without power supply for more than 10 minutes, while other surrounding areas are reporting the same problems.

Local authorities are working to manage the situation and resolve the problems caused by the storm, while residents are advised to carefully follow safety instructions.
