“Since the beginning of the bear activity season, the EDDS has received 100 reports. Since June 2026, seven animals that posed a threat to human life and health have been eliminated,” the press release says.

Over the past week, from September 28 to October 5, EDDS received eight reports of bear sightings. Six of them were confirmed. On September 19, one bear was shot.

A high alert regime has been in effect in the regional capital since September 9. The city's territory is divided into nine zones, each assigned to mobile groups of experienced hunters - members of folk squads and volunteers. 19 hunters were involved in assisting the police: seven people's vigilantes and 12 volunteers. The administration receives messages through the Unified Duty and Dispatch Service around the clock. Information is quickly transmitted to the police and hunters.

Authorities emphasize that every message is treated as a potential threat. Residents are asked to report as accurately as possible the place and time of discovery of the animal, the direction of its movement and other circumstances. Citizens are also urged to be careful in the forest and near forested areas, especially in remote neighborhoods, and to keep an eye on children.
