Bei einem Eisbären-Angriff im Norden Sibiriens sind drei Menschen verletzt worden, darunter ein Kind. Die Mitglieder einer Familie wurden an einer Angelstelle in der Region Krasnojarsk attackiert.

Overview

  • The Siberian Interior Ministry said a family was attacked near a remote fishing spot about 40 kilometers from the village of Nosok in Russia’s Krasnoyarsk region.
  • Three family members born in 1983, 2006, and 2015 were injured, and responders brought them to safety for medical treatment.
  • Authorities reported the incident on the ministry’s Telegram channel after police were alerted to the attack.
  • Officials said one of the injured may require hospital care, though no details on the severity of wounds were released.
  • Context from recent Arctic cases, including a preemptive shooting on Svalbard last summer, underscores how sea‑ice loss is pushing bears closer to communities.
