“A large-scale search operation to find the missing child the day before, 60 km from Severouralsk in the mountains and taiga, has been successfully completed.
Today one of the search groups found a schoolboy, ”he said.
The boy is alive, healthy and able to move independently.
“Now the police officers are awaiting arrival in the square, where they found him from a helicopter, in order to take him from the mountains for examination to doctors,” Gorelykh added.
As previously reported, the boy disappeared while descending from the Ural ridge to the Kriv base, 60 km from Severouralsk.
He made the ascent together with his father as part of an unregistered tourist group of 18 people.
During the return to the base, the father allowed his son to independently walk to the parking lot at the foot, since he himself could not move quickly, after which the child disappeared.
