The Bohdan Mukachevo border guard detachment of the Border Guard Service received information that the Romanian Rescue Service hotline had received a report about a Ukrainian citizen losing his way in the mountains on Feb. 13.
Ukrainian and Romanian border guards then initiated search operations on both sides of the border. Unfortunately, due to an avalanche, no traces of people were found in the mountains.
Border guards are advising against mountain hiking at this time due to challenging weather conditions, including the risk of avalanches, thick fog, and strong winds.
During martial law, all men from 18 to 60 years old are considered to be subject to conscription and are also prohibited from leaving the country, except in cases provided for by law.
