Storm in Crimea Kills 6 People
People were swimming in the sea during the storm.
Six people died as a result of a storm off the coast of Crimea, which is occupied by Russia.
Another five people were rescued, the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.
A storm warning has been issued for the peninsula, with northeast winds that may reach 17-22 m/s. Despite this, people continued to swim.
It is reported that two people died in the village of Otradnoye in the area of the Krab beach — they sustained injuries incompatible with life, and their bodies were recovered. At the same place, another person was pulled alive from the water onto the shore.
In addition, in the waters off the Solaris beach near the Yalta-Intourist hotel, two men were unable to swim to shore on their own due to the storm, while in the technical zone of the Lenin embankment in Yalta, a woman and a man could not get out of the water — all of them were rescued.
As a result of Hurricane Dorian, at least 43 people died in the US.
