North Ossetian Authorities Intensify Crackdown on Illegal Crypto Mining

The head of North Ossetia, Sergey Menyailo, instructed the Ministry of Housing and Energy to intensify efforts to identify locations of illegal mining activities. This decision comes amid increased strain on the region’s power grid and frequent electricity outages.

Illegal mining leads to overloading of networks and heightened risk of accidents, adversely affecting residents of the republic. Authorities plan to take strict measures against violators, including disconnection from power supplies and administrative penalties.

Local residents support the government’s initiative, noting that illegal miners damage infrastructure and cause discomfort for the population. It is expected that intensified measures will help stabilize the energy system and improve the quality of electricity supply.
