Mother said Josh Powell threatened her
MOSCOW, March 13 (UPI) -- Rescuers were trying to save 15 fishermen adrift on an ice floe in Russia's Far East, a Russian emergencies ministry spokesman said Saturday.
RIA Novosti said the ice fishermen had ignored warnings the ice was breaking up in the Sakhalin Region.
The rescue operation, involving 28 people, was hampered by adverse weather conditions, the report said.
Ice fishing, which involves drilling a hole in the ice, is extremely popular with Russians, as it is with many U.S. fishermen in the upper Midwest.
Novosti said last year a group of Russians stranded in Kaliningrad asked rescuers to "save them slowly" -- the fish had begun to bite.
