Avalanche in French Alps, Armancette glacier: 4 hikers killed, several injured
At least four people have been killed and several others injured in an avalanche on the Armancette glacier in the French Alps, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Sunday.
"The avalanche hit the Armancette glacier around midday.
According to preliminary data, four people died, and several others were injured. The rescuers are operating on the site," Darmanin tweeted.
French media reported that two helicopters were involved in the search and rescue operation, adding that no avalanche warning had been issued before the incident.
*Before the incident, the nearby ski resort of Contamines-Montjoie posted a video on social media showing a huge wall of snow moving down from the Dômes de Miage, which the glacier is a part of.*
