Bears storm village in Black Sea province

Some bears came from the wild to the Çiçekli village in the Çamlıhemşin district of the Black Sea province of Rize and destroyed around 25 houses in the Kale village while looking for food.

"The bears damaged the doors and the windows with their claws and shattered whatever they found inside the houses," said Mehmet Ali Yanmışoğlu, the muhtar (local head) of the village.
