An avalanche on Mount Mizhirgi in Russia’s North Caucasus sweeps through a climbing group, with multiple sources reporting that at least 11 people die. The incident occurs around 5 p.m. local time on Sunday and involves a larger group of 33 climbers, according to the reports.
The coverage includes references to video showing a wall of snow and ice coming down the mountain and striking the group. Both accounts describe the same location and time, but they do not provide additional verified details such as the precise circumstances of the climb, whether the climbers were warned, or how rescue operations unfold beyond the reported fatalities.
While the reports align on the core facts—an avalanche on Mount Mizhirgi affecting 33 climbers and resulting in at least 11 deaths—there is limited shared information on broader context, including weather conditions, official investigation findings, or responses from authorities.
