VLADIVOSTOK. August 19. KAZINFORM More than 60 EMERCOM rescuers together with police this Friday patrol Primorye beaches closed after shark attacks; Kazinform refers to Itar-Tass.
Rescuers watch the sea from boats in the most dangerous areas, the press service of the Emergencies Ministry's Primorye regional department told Itar-Tass.
The Emergencies Ministry (EMERCOM) has repeated its warning to residents and guests in the region this Friday not to swim and dive in the sea and not to use water rides. Though no new cases of shark attacks have been reported, swimming in the Sea of Japan near the Primorye coast remains dangerous until all the circumstances are cleared up, rescuers noted in their address.
