In the Solton district of Altai Krai, a bear attacked a 15-year-old boy at an apiary, reports Qumash.kz citing Interfax-russia.ru. The apiary serves as a food source for the bear, and the owner does not always manage to leave in time.

The incident occurred about 20 kilometers from the village of Solton. The bear severely injured the boy, damaging his head, but he managed to escape. On Thursday, the injured was taken to a hospital in Biysk, where doctors assess his condition as moderate.

The Altai Krai Prosecutor's Office is investigating the attack. If violations are found, measures will be taken to prevent similar cases, though details have not yet been disclosed.
