On the night of August 23, 2023, six prisoners escaped from a labor colony in Lipetsk, Russia. The escape was discovered during a morning roll call when the prisoners were found to be missing. An investigation has been launched, and a search is underway for the escaped inmates.

According to preliminary reports, the prisoners dug a tunnel under the prison wall. The tunnel was approximately 100 meters long and 2 meters deep. It is believed that the prisoners used tools from the prison workshop to dig the tunnel.

The escaped prisoners are all male, and they are all serving sentences for serious crimes. The prisoners have been identified as: * Sergei Alexandrov, 32, serving a 10-year sentence for murder * Ivan Petrov, 28, serving a 15-year sentence for robbery * Dmitry Sidorov, 30, serving a 8-year sentence for drug trafficking * Aleksei Ivanov, 25, serving a 7-year sentence for theft * Boris Mikhailov, 27, serving a 9-year sentence for assault * Vladimir Kuznetsov, 31, serving a 12-year sentence for fraud

The authorities have issued a public warning and are asking for the public's help in locating the escaped prisoners. The prisoners are considered to be dangerous, and the public is advised not to approach them if they are seen.

The escape has raised concerns about the security of the prison. The prison is located in a remote area, and it is not clear how the prisoners managed to escape undetected. The authorities are reviewing the prison's security measures and are taking steps to prevent future escapes.
