Rescuers are trying to find a group of 22 tourists who went rafting on the Usva River in the Perm region, RIA Novosti reports, citing the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The group includes 11 adults and 11 children.
According to Telegram channel Mash, the tourists organized their own rafting trip. They were due to return to the village of Srednaya Usva on July 9, but they have yet to arrive.
However, RBK Perm writes that the tourists should have arrived on July 9 in another location — the village of Usva. The distance between Srednaya Usva and Usva is more than 180 kilometers (about 110 miles).
