Tourists at Lake Shochi were left stranded in their vehicles after vast swarms of mosquitoes gathered along the lakeside.
The sky was reported to have turned dark as thousands of insects filled the air. Footage of the incident has circulated widely on social media, showing dense clouds of mosquitoes over the area.
Tourists at the lakeside became alarmed and took shelter inside their cars to protect themselves.
Social media users have expressed concern over the viral video, pointing to the extraordinary scale of the mosquito presence.
Biologists have stated that such high numbers of mosquitoes are expected to persist until next week.
In a separate development, in Switzerland, hundreds of people dressed as Charlie Chaplin took part in a public rally, drawing attention on social platforms.
The incident is not without precedent; in 2021, similar swarms of mosquitoes were reported in Kamchatka, near the Bering Sea, Russia.
