Rescuers have found two bodies of the six Russian canoeists who had been missing in northwest China's Xinjiang since Sep. 2.

 

The bodies were found around 01:20 PM on Saturday under the canoe which was spotted from across the riverbank on Wednesday. Four rescuers are trying to transport the bodies back to the northern bank of the river.

 

The bodies will later be sent back to Hotan.
