The search for the 22 people who disappeared with the helicopter in Russia is still continuing News in brief

A helicopter disappeared in Russia with 22 people on board

Searches are carried out on a footpath.

On the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East of Russia, the search for the missing helicopter continues on Saturday.

The Mi-8T helicopter left on Saturday from the Vatškažets area towards Nikolayevka, but it has not been contacted since then. There were 19 passengers and three crew members in the helicopter, says the state official news agency Interfax.

Very bad weather has made the search difficult. Due to the strong wind and rain, visibility is poor, and searches cannot be carried out from the air. In some places, the searchers have to move on foot in the mountainous area.
