Russians saved after three months

Rescuers have saved 11 people who were shipwrecked nearly three months ago in the remote Russian Far East.

They had survived by eating fish they had caught, food they had on board, and flour they found in an old army base. However, with supplies running low, five set out on foot to seek help. After four days' walk, they stumbled upon a group of soldiers, who sent for help. All 11 are reported to be feeling well and not in need of medical help. Their ordeal began when they set out in two vessels to catch fish on the Pacific coast of the Kamchatka peninsula, 6,700 km (4,200 miles) east of Moscow. The boats' wreckage provided some basic shelter while they awaited rescue.
