Siberia is facing a scary situation. There has been a sudden jump in bear attacks on people. These attacks have been deadly, and people living in the area are very worried.
Because of this danger, hunters in the region have been told they can start hunting bears more freely. This is often called an "open season." It means the rules for hunting these animals have been relaxed to help keep the public safe.
Residents say the situation is "really frightening." In some towns, people are afraid to go outside. Experts are looking into why the bears are becoming more aggressive. Some think the bears are having trouble finding food in the wild, so they are coming closer to where people live to find something to eat.
Local leaders are warning everyone to be extra careful. They are asking people to stay alert, especially when they are near wooded areas. The main goal right now is to stop the attacks and keep people safe from these dangerous animals.
