In the Krasnoyarsk region, a bear killed a pensioner in the yard of the house

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, a brown bear attacked a 66-year-old woman – as a result of her injuries, she died, TASS reports.

In the village of Upper Kebezh Krasnoyarsk Territory on the night of September 16, a tragedy occurred: a brown bear attacked a woman, as a result of which she died. The body of a 66-year-old pensioner was found in the yard of her own house – this was reported in the GSU IC of Russia in the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia. However, the predator was not neutralized: after the attack, he fled.

According to the operational services, such a scenario is likely: the woman heard a suspicious noise at her station and decided to check what was happening. She looked out the window and the bear grabbed her. This version was voiced by the interlocutor of the agency.

The situation with bear attacks in Siberia is becoming more tense: over the past month, six people have died in the Siberian Federal District due to predator attacks, four of them in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

The Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation explained that over 36 years the number of bears in the country has increased by 2.3 times and now reaches 307 thousand individuals. One of the main reasons is the availability of food waste: animals get used to feeding in landfills. A special threat is posed by bears, “grown up” in such conditions: bears lead to places where cubs accumulate waste, animals form stable eating habits, and subsequently they do not return to their natural diet. Because of this, predators increasingly come to populated areas – this trend is observed in many Russian regions.
