Five Bosnian climbers died on Mount Elbrus in Russia after a storm, authorities said, and the bodies of three victims have not yet been recovered because of bad weather. Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, rises to 5,642 metres and is prone to rapid weather changes. The regional branch of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation reported that rescue teams had retrieved the bodies of two climbers at an altitude of 5,350 metres, while two other climbers were evacuated to medical care. The bodies of three additional climbers were recovered but remain on the mountain. The climbers were part of a seven‑person expedition from Zenica, including a married couple and a female doctor who worked at a local hospital, Bosnian media said. Russian news agencies reported that strong winds and poor visibility hampered search and recovery efforts. The Russian Emergencies Ministry confirmed the evacuations and said the nationalities of the climbers had not been specified initially, though law enforcement later identified them as Bosnian nationals. Weather conditions have delayed the removal of the remaining bodies. The incident underscores the risks of high‑altitude climbing in unpredictable weather, and authorities said recovery operations will continue when conditions improve.
