Five Bosnian climbers are feared to have perished while attempting to scale Mount Elbrus in Russia, as confirmed by a Bosnian climbing rescue service on Sunday. The climbers were swept away by a violent storm, with only two survivors rescued and receiving medical care by Russian authorities.

The bodies of two climbers from the group have been located at an altitude of 5,350 meters but await evacuation due to adverse weather. The search for the remaining three climbers continues, although their nationalities have not been disclosed, according to Russia's Emergencies Ministry.

Reports from Bosnian media state that the climbers were from Zenica, including a married couple and a hospital-employed doctor. Russian media highlight the severe weather with strong winds, complicating search and recovery efforts on Europe's highest peak.
