Divers recover bodies of seven Chinese tourists from bottom of Lake Baikal
Divers have successfully retrieved the bodies of seven Chinese tourists from the bottom of Lake Baikal in Siberia.

The bodies were found at a depth of 30 meters near the tourist town of Listvyanka.
Local authorities have expressed their condolences to the families of the victims and have launched an investigation into the incident. The exact cause of the tragedy is yet to be determined, though initial reports suggest that the boat the tourists were on may have encountered difficulties due to strong winds and rough waters.
The Chinese Embassy in Russia has been in contact with the families of the deceased and is providing assistance and support during this difficult time. The embassy has also called for a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances that led to the tragic accident.
