Search for missing Almaty climbers in the Tien Shan mountains was stopped. Tengrinews.kz reported with reference to members of the search and rescue operation.
According to it, military climbers sent for search returned. They found neither the missing nor their traces.
The head of the search and rescue operation Vasily Pivtsov said that the weather did not allow to search for the people.
"There are no traces visually. Scanning by a thermal imager also brought no result. On August 21, there was low cloud cover in the area of Pobeda Peak. We were waiting for good weather for a day and took off on August 22. No result. An increased avalanche hazard persists, which does not allow us to continue the search," he said.
