An avalanche struck a group of 33 climbers during an expedition in the Bezengi gorge, one of the most impressive zones in the Russian Caucasus. The incident occurred unexpectedly, catching the climbers off guard while they were carrying out their activity in the mountainous region.
The toll from the tragedy is severe: eleven climbers died as a result of the avalanche. Additionally, six people were injured in the incident. There are also several missing climbers, the exact number of which is not specified in the article.
Russian authorities are coordinating rescue operations to locate the missing and provide assistance to the injured. The region of the Russian Caucasus, where the Bezengi gorge is located, is known for its imposing mountains and sometimes unpredictable weather conditions, which makes these types of expeditions particularly risky.
