In the Crimea found missing tourists in the cave

Rescuers found four tourists who were blocked in the Red Cave in the Simferopol district in Crimea. Their condition is satisfactory. This was reported by the EMERCOM of Russia, reports TASS.

Emergencies officials are working to evacuate people. The rescue operation involved 41 people using 15 units of equipment.

Four tourists went to the cave for a tour of the extreme route on September 28. Due to the rising water level, they were blocked behind siphons (parts of the cave that are completely filled with water) and could not get out on their own. The group did not communicate for more than 12 hours.

Red Cave, or Kizil-Koba, is one of the largest cave systems in Crimea and one of the largest in Europe. Its studied part is about 26 km deep.
