Abramov - 10 April 2005 (from Russian source) Our expedition reached to Tibet and today, on April 10, we moved from Zangmu to Nyalam. On the whole everything is OK. An accident took place on the road between Kathmandu and Kodari on the way to Tibet border. As in Nepal the strike is declared till April, 12, the Maoists are blocking the roads prevent from moving traffic. Therefore a special military escort was organized to convoy and provide safety of our expedition that headed to the Tibet border. The expedition main group had left for earlier and the two climbers, Sergei Kaimanchikov and Alexander Abramov were trying to catch up with their group when a group of unknown people threw self-made explosives at their vehicle. As result of the terrorist act both of Russians were contused, and Kaimanchikov received a severe leg injury. The military troops helped to organize immediate evacuation by helicopter to Katmandu. Sergei was brought to the hospital and operated. Now he is in normality. Alexander stayed in Kathmandu to help Sergey. In a week Sergei is going to be sent to Moscow, and after that Alexander will join the expedition. Nikolai Cherny is acting as the expedition leader at present. |
