A bear in the yard in Sakhuli

The incident took place on November 5 in the village of Sakhuli in Buryatia. A local resident went out into the yard to feed her dogs and found a large, emaciated bear there. This was reported by Gazeta.Ru, citing the Telegram channel Vesy Ulan-Ude. Men rushed to the woman's aid and killed the predator on the spot; footage from the scene shows the animal's carcass lying at the feet of the villagers' rescuers.

Similar incidents in other regions

Gazeta.Ru also recalls two recent episodes in other regions. In the Irkutsk region, a bear came out of the forest toward residential cottages, began breaking doors and smashing windows as it tried to get inside. A man distracted the predator to allow his wife and colleagues to escape: the woman jumped out of a second-floor window and suffered a severe injury — a comminuted fracture of the upper third of the tibia with complete displacement and bone loss. According to doctors, a full recovery will take up to six months. Earlier, in the Krasnodar region, a womanwho encountered a bear called rescuers.
