VLADIKAVKAZ, December 2 (Itar-Tass) —— The border checkpoint Zaramag on the border between North Ossetia and South Ossetia was suspended over the failure of equipment, a border guard officer Alexander Solod told Itar-Tass on Friday.

All equipment failed at the border checkpoint over the power outage and the border checkpoint will be closed until the election power supply is restored, he said. “All vehicles, which were driving to South Ossetia, are staying in Alagir,” he said. Solod could not say when the border crossing to South Ossetia will be resumed.
