“At 23:20 local time, all amateur fishermen who needed evacuation, rescuers brought ashore. None of the survivors needed medical assistance. The rescue operation involved 15 people, three boats and one hivus-10 hovercraft, the agency said.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations clarified that a crack had formed earlier in the Mordvinov Bay, 2 km from the shore. Rescuers warned of the danger of going out on ice.
Previously, the evacuation of about 600 fishermen from torn ice floes in the area of Cape Svobodny in the Sakhalin Region was reported.
