A resident of Russia’s eastern Siberian republic of Yakutia has been killed by a wild bear, a spokesman for the local Interior Ministry said on Monday.

On July 24, two residents of Khara-Aldan village went approximately 20 kilometers away from their homes to cut hay. Later, one of them decided to go to a nearby forest lodge to collect a scythe.

“His mate waited for him for two days; on July 27 the man came back to the village and claimed that his co-worker has gone missing. Rescue efforts kicked off on July 28, and the man’s body was found on the weekend; the body’s wounds were typical of those that bears leave,” police spokesman Stanislav Platonov said.

The head of the village administration has formed a group of hunters who have started searching for the beast.
