Avalanche kills 11 climbers in southern Russia: rescuers
MOSCOW: An avalanche on one of Russia's highest mountains has killed 11 climbers and left six others missing, rescue services said Monday.
Rescuers received reports of the avalanche on Mount Mizhirgi, around 5,000 metres (16,400 ft) tall, at around 5 pm (1400 GMT) on Sunday.
Unverified video on social media showed what appeared to be a mound of snow and ice crashing down a mountainside in the area, as people in the background could be heard swearing.
