Circumstances of the disappearance of a group of tourists

The group's disappearance became known on April 9th. The Minister of Emergency Situations of the Kamchatka Territory, Sergey Lebedev, clarified that on March 28 they set off on a hike from the village of Pinachevo, but on April 3, a conflict broke out between the group members in the Talovsky district.
