In Perm Krai, a man was injured in a bear attack and needs medical assistance. This was reported by the Interior Ministry department for the Gornozavodsk municipal district.

No further details of the incident were provided.

The victim's condition and official recommendations

The victim survived and is receiving medical care. According to the Telegram channel '112', the man's condition is assessed as satisfactory. The Interior Ministry urged people not to go into the forest in this area and to observe personal safety measures. In case of an encounter with the predator, local authorities advised backing away slowly, without turning one's back to the bear and without losing sight of it.

Context of other attacks

This is not an isolated case of its kind in the country: earlier, in Kuban, doctors saved a man who had been attacked by a bear— the animal inflicted skull injuries on him, and doctors had to reconstruct the victim's face. Also, details previously became known of a bear attack on a fisherman in Yamal. The publications do not report any connection between these incidents.
