In the Primorsky Territory, three childrenwent missing after a short walk along a river, according to the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The disappearance occurred in the Yakovlevsky district of Primorye, prompting a broad response from local authorities. Civil volunteers, police officers, and personnel from the Ministry of Emergencies joined the search, coordinating their efforts to locate the youngsters and ensure their safety.
Officials reported that at noon on June 24, a notice was received about three children who did not return home after visiting the Arsenyevka River. The lapse in their return triggered an urgent search operation that involved ground teams, drones, and coordinated patrols across the riverbank and nearby paths. The authorities stressed the importance of swift action when children are reported missing, as every minute can be critical in securing their safety.
Descriptive details for the missing children have been distributed to aid responders and volunteers during the search. The first child is an eight-year-old boy, 120 to 130 centimeters tall, slender in build, with blond hair and brown eyes. The second child is also eight, slightly shorter at about 100 to 110 centimeters, thin, with blond hair and brown eyes. The girl is twelve years old, standing between 120 and 150 centimeters, slender, with dark blond hair and brown eyes. Citizens in the region were urged to report any possible sightings or information that could assist investigators and rescue teams in narrowing the search area.
In the course of the investigation and ongoing search efforts, officials emphasized that the Arsenyevka River corridor and surrounding forested zones are being thoroughly checked. Local authorities coordinated with emergency services to deploy search dogs, air support, and rapid-response teams to cover more ground and improve the chances of locating the children quickly. The operation was described as a high-priority response in line with standard protocols for missing-child cases in the area, with regular updates provided to the public as information became available.
As the search persisted, authorities highlighted the importance of community vigilance and the role of families in providing any additional context that might help locate the children. The case has drawn attention in the wider region, underscoring the ongoing commitment of law enforcement and emergency services to protect children and respond effectively to disappearances. The situation remains active, with authorities continuing to pursue leads and coordinate with nearby districts to expand the search radius as needed.
