Heavy snowfall has caused a bus to become lost in Russia's Far Eastern Kamchatka region. It left the region's capital despite a storm warning. Rescuers are now looking for the ten passengers on board, including two children, and two drivers.

It was last seen around 300 kilometres from its starting point. Rescuers are finding it impossible to communicate with the vehicle at the moment.
