MOSCOW, Russia (AFP)—Russia on Sunday said it had found the bodies of five foreign climbers — believed to be Bosnian — on Mount Elbrus, authorities and state media said.

Earlier, authorities said that out of a group of seven climbing Russia’s highest mountain, they had recovered two bodies and were searching for three more.

“According to investigators, on July 24, a group of seven climbers — foreign nationals — was climbing Mount Elbrus. The following evening, due to rapidly deteriorating weather conditions, the group strayed from the route,” the local prosecutor’s office said.
