MAKHACHKALA, Russia, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Rescuers on Monday were searching for a border guard who disappeared in an avalanche in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan.
The avalanche occurred Sunday in the republic's Tsuntinsky District. A local resident and one border guard were killed, three guards survived and one guard is still missing, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported Monday.
A spokesperson for the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said fierce snowstorms were complicating the rescue operation. "A helicopter will transport 10 rescuers and a dog to the site as soon as the storm subsides," the source said.
Dagestan is the largest republic of the Russian Federation in the mountainous northern Caucasus region.
