Since December, 52 polar bears have regularly visited the archipelago’s main settlement, Belushya Guba, with some displaying “aggressive behaviour,” local official Alexander Minayev said in a report to regional authorities.
This included “attacks on people and entering residential homes and public buildings,” said Minayev, the deputy chief of the local administration.
