Six Prisoners Escape from Colony in Lipetsk Oblast

Lipetsk, Russia – Six prisoners have escaped from a penal colony in Lipetsk Oblast, authorities said Wednesday.

The inmates broke out of the colony in the early hours of Wednesday morning, using a metal saw to cut through the bars of their cell window. They then scaled the prison wall and fled into the surrounding forest.

The escaped prisoners are all male, and range in age from 25 to 45. They are all serving sentences for serious crimes, including murder, robbery, and drug trafficking.

The authorities have launched a massive manhunt for the escaped prisoners, and have set up checkpoints throughout the region. They are also asking for the public's help in apprehending the fugitives.

The escape is the latest in a series of security breaches at Russian prisons. In recent years, there have been several cases of prisoners escaping from high-security facilities.

The authorities are investigating the circumstances of the escape, and are taking steps to improve security at the colony.
