The Khamar-Daban incident occurred in August 1993, involving a group of seven hikers, including Lyudmila Korovina, an experienced hiking instructor, and six students from Petropavl, Kazakhstan. They aimed to traverse the Khamar-Daban mountain range in southern Siberia, Russia On August 5, 1993, the group encountered severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall. One of the hikers, Aleksander "Sacha" Krysin, began screaming, frothing at the mouth, and bleeding from his eyes and ears. He soon died, followed by others in the group exhibiting similar symptoms Valentina Utochenko, the sole survivor, reported that the group had become ill and disoriented. She managed to escape and was rescued by kayakers on August 9, 1993. The bodies of the other six hikers were found later, with signs of severe trauma, including bruised lungs and missing body parts The cause of the incident remains unclear, with theories ranging from hypothermia and altitude sickness to nerve agent exposure or infrasound effects.
