VLADIVOSTOK (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 28th November, 2021) An endangered Siberian tiger has been killed in Russia's Primorsky Territory, the local branch of the Russian Interior Ministry said on Sunday.
"The police received a message that a carcass of a wild animal had been found in a forest expanse, 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) away from the Glubinnoe village in the Primorsky Territory's Krasnoarmeysky District. According to preliminary information, the male Amur tiger died from a gunshot wound," the branch said in a statement.
