MOSCOW, 3 January (BelTA) – The search for a missing Belarusian tourist in Russia’s Murmansk Oblast will continue, the Belarusian Embassy’s press service told BelTA.
Diplomats have been informed by relevant Russian agencies that on 1 January, a Belarusian citizen – a woman born in 1968 – was swept out to sea during a group ice floating lesson on the Tuloma River in Murmansk Oblast.
“Harsh weather and freezing temperatures are hampering the search efforts. According to information as of 8:00 PM on 2 January 2026, the missing citizen has not been found. The search operation will continue,” the embassy stated.
