An accident involving foreign tourists occurred on Lake Baikal, according to authorities in Irkutsk Oblast. Police reported that a vehicle carrying tourists entered an ice crevice and overturned.

Preliminary information indicates that a 75-year-old female tourist from China died as a result of the incident. A total of ten tourists from China were in the vehicle, including one person from Taiwan. No official information on the condition of the other passengers has been released so far.

The incident occurred while traveling on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal, a destination popular for winter tourism. During the colder months, guided trips across the ice are offered, but experts emphasize that ice conditions can be unpredictable and require careful monitoring.
