P.-KAMCHATSKY, August 31 – RIA Novosti. New details of a bear attack on two men in the Olyutorsky district have become known: the predator attacked people while protecting her cubs, Vsevolod Voropanov, head of the department of federal state control (supervision) of the Ministry of Forestry and Hunting of the Kamchatka Territory, told RIA Novosti.

As the regional Ministry of Health reported on Monday morning, two hunters ended up in the hospital after an encounter with a bear.

“The bear, guided by maternal instinct, attacked the people, bit one on the leg, and the second, while running away, jumped from a cliff and injured a limb in the fall. At the same time, the predator did not pursue the men and immediately took the cubs away,” said Voropanov.

According to the head of the Kamchatka State Hunting Supervision Service, on August 29, the 112 system received a signal that six people were stuck in the mountains near Anastasia Bay north of the village of Pakhachi. On the same day, the helicopter was unable to take off due to bad weather. The next day, two victims were taken by ambulance flight to the Olyutorsky district hospital. One of them was diagnosed with a bite, the second with a leg injury received when falling from a cliff.
