Georgian rescuers have saved a group of injured tourists stranded near Tetnuldi Mountain in the north-western Svaneti region of Georgia in an ongoing rescue mission, the Emergency Management Service said on Saturday.
The Service said it had received a SOS message from the International Observation and Search Centre and had sent a group of firemen and rescuers to the specified location, with “full mountain equipment”, and noted due to difficult geographical location and weather conditions a border police helicopter had been used to transfer two injured mountaineers to a hospital.
The Service added that the rescue operation has still continued as there have been remaining four other members of the tourist group, from which one had fallen into a crevasse.
