[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Recently, tigers have been frequently appearing in the border area between China and Russia. On the 23rd (local time), a wild tiger descended into a residential area, attacking villagers and breaking car windows, causing a commotion.


According to local Chinese media, around 7 a.m. that day, a 2-meter-long Siberian tiger appeared in a village in Misan, Heilongjiang Province, turning the village into chaos. The tiger that came down to the village ran at incredible speed, attacking vehicles and injuring villagers. The media reported that the injured villager was taken to the hospital for treatment, and there were no fatalities.


At the time, local police said, "The tiger went north, but its whereabouts are unknown," and urged villagers to "close windows tightly and return home quickly."


Afterwards, the tiger leisurely roamed around the village and fields. The capture operation was delayed while waiting for the arrival of a tranquilizer gun, and it is reported that the tiger was tranquilized and captured around 9 p.m. that day.


An expert stated, "Since it is close to the main habitat in the Sikhote-Alin Mountains in Russia, some individuals living in that area spread to this side (China) when they reach adulthood," and it is believed that this tiger came from Russia.


Since the early 2010s, after the governments of both countries established the Baekdusan Tiger Protection Zone in the border area, the population has gradually increased, and recently, tiger appearances have often been confirmed in the border area between China and Russia.



On the 14th (local time), four Baekdusan tiger cubs were simultaneously filmed in Hunchun City National Park, and two months ago, a tiger was captured descending into a residential area and attacking a large dog.
