The situation around the headquarters of Russia's Southern Military District in Rostov-on-Don was calm and street traffic resumed, RIA state news agency said on Sunday after Yevgeny Prigozhin and his mercenaries left the city.

In a video on the agency's Telegram messaging app, which it said was taken in the city of Rostov-on-Don, a man was sweeping a street and cars were moving along another street.

Reuters could not independently verify the report.

Late on Saturday, Prigozhin, the head of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, was seen leaving the district military headquarters in Rostov-on-Don after halting a rebellion against Russia's military establishment.

An avalanche hit a group of five skiers in Italy’s northern Piedmont region on Sunday, killing three of them, rescuers said.
Two survived and were transported to the hospital by helicopter, The Associated Press reported.
The avalanche hit around midday on the eastern face of Punta Valgrande, a summit on the border between Italy and Switzerland.
The skiers who died were dragged downhill for several hundred meters (yards), suffering fatal injuries.
An alert had been issued in the area above 2,100 meters (6,900 feet), warning of “considerable danger of avalanches.”
