The victim’s son reported that his mother was subjected to a sudden attack Delay in the arrival of specialized teams to the scene of the incident

A 58-year-old Polish woman was killed after a sudden bear attack in a mountainous area in southeastern Poland, in an incident that caused shock and concern among local residents, according to Agence France-Presse.

According to details, the incident took place in the village of Blona in the Bieszczady mountain region, when emergency teams received a report from the victim’s son stating that his mother had been suddenly attacked by a bear while in the area.

Immediately, rescue and police teams moved to the scene, but the rough mountainous terrain and difficulty of access, along with a lack of precise information about the location of the attack, caused a delay in the arrival of specialized teams.

When paramedics arrived at the site, the woman’s injuries were extremely severe, making it impossible to provide any first aid, and she was declared dead at the scene.

Official data indicates that the brown bear population in Poland is estimated at around 100 bears, most of which are concentrated in the Bieszczady region, a natural habitat for these wild animals.

Despite their presence in the area, fatal attacks remain extremely rare, with such incidents occurring only exceptionally, the last one dating back more than a decade, which increases the strangeness and severity of this latest incident.
