Police in the Siberian region of Irkutsk have rescued a couple after a bear broke into their holiday home, attracted by the smell of fresh soup.
A patrol turned up at their dacha near Ust-Ilimsk in the early hours after a neighbour raised the alarm.
They found the couple hiding in their bath-house as the bear digested the hot beetroot soup in their garden.
A warning shot was sufficient to scare off the intruder. No-one was hurt, although there was damage to the house.
According to a police statement, the couple said they had left the soup to cool when they went to bed.
Because of decorating work inside the dacha, they were sleeping out in the bath-house, when they woke to "loud banging".
