In Transbaikalia introduced high alert due to the invasion of bears

Governor of Transbaikalia Alexander Osipov announced the introduction of a high-alert regime in the entire region due to the frequent cases of bears entering settlements. The corresponding decision was made at the meeting of the regional CES.

At the municipal level, local authorities should notify the population, conduct training for schoolchildren, take control of garbage collection so as not to attract bears, and prevent uncontrolled grazing of livestock. Medical services, including sanitary aviation, should be ready. Security forces are ordered to conduct preventive raids in settlements.

Alexander Osipov also urged residents of Transbaikalia to be "extremely careful and attentive" and when bears appear, advised "not to approach the predator or feed him." According to the Ministry of Natural Resources of Transbaikalia, more than 30 bears that posed a threat have already been shot in the region. In the region for these purposes formed 85 hunting brigades of 275 people.
