An avalanche hit Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula over the weekend, trapping two members of an 11-person skiing group. The Russian Ministry of Emergencies reported that despite rescue efforts, the lifeless body of a 44-year-old woman buried in the avalanche was recovered. Forty people were involved in the challenging search for a missing 19-year-old, conducted under severe weather conditions of strong winds and heavy snowfall. Sadly, the young skier was found lifeless this morning. Nine individuals evacuated by the ministry’s Mi-8 helicopter were reported to be in good health.

Fighting intensified last night following a Druze assault, with convoys of tribesmen advancing in vehicles. Local sources report ongoing clashes west of the city.
The Syrian Interior Ministry stated that government forces have not deployed to Sweida and remain on standard alert. However, an unnamed Israeli official said Israel has agreed to allow limited Syrian government access to the area for 48 hours due to instability.
Despite efforts by Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara to reduce tensions, the violence has escalated, with hundreds reportedly killed.
