Fishermen trapped on ice-drift rescued in Kaliningrad

About 200 fishermen trapped on an ice-drift in the Kaliningrad gulf in the West of Russia have been rescued. The fishermen ignored the warning about the thin ice and when they came to the gulf for fishing the ice broke and several fishermen's cars sank. The rescued fishermen were brought to the rescuers' base where doctors provided them medical help. Earlier in the Sea of Okhotsk in Russia's Far East two fishermen and two rescuers died when their boat was overturned by the storm wind.
