HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Zariouh
During the night of Friday to Saturday, October 10th and 11th, 2025, the Nador region experienced heavy rainfall, reaching approximately 66 mm in several communities, especially Bouarrak, Selouane, and Laaroui.
The rain fell between midnight and three in the morning, causing temporary disruptions to traffic on some main roads. In the Selouane community, the rise in water levels led to the interruption of traffic on National Road No. 2, which connects Selouane and Laaroui, and three light vehicles were submerged, with no injuries reported among their passengers. As for Laaroui, the city witnessed the flooding of the Hadouch wadi, which caused a partial leakage of water into the Al-Saada neighborhood and the interruption of National Road No. 2 at the entrance to the city. The submersion of eight cars was also recorded before they were towed by the competent authorities, in addition to the rescue of seven people who were in two cars without any damage. Nador-Laaroui Airport witnessed a limited water leakage on the surface of the boarding hall without affecting the operation of flights. In the Bouarrak community, the flooding of the Selouane wadi led to the interruption of National Road No. 16, which connects Bouarrak and Arkmane, and the erosion of the temporary road passage adjacent to the bridge, which is currently undergoing reconstruction work. In this context, great efforts were made by the local authorities, civil protection services, national security, Royal Gendarmerie, auxiliary forces, the services of the Regional Directorate for Equipment and Water, the Regional Multi-Service Company in Nador, and the municipal services, which mobilized from the early hours of the night for field intervention, the reopening of roads, the securing of traffic, and the assessment of the damage caused by the rainfall. The regional authorities and the specialized technical services also continue to continuously monitor the field situation to ensure immediate intervention in the event of any new developments, until things return to normal. The prefecture of the region affirms the continued mobilization and vigilance on the part of all concerned services to protect the safety of citizens and their property.
