A MOTORCYCLIST was mauled to death by a bear moments after taking a smiling selfie with the deadly wild beast. Omar Farang Zin, 48, was on holiday in Romania when he initiated the unwise encounter. 5 A selfie Omar took with the bear - just moments before it mauled him to death Credit: Omar Farang Zin 5 The large brown bear was reportedly with cubs Credit: Facebook 5 The beast mauled Omar to death just moments after he uploaded these images to Facebook Credit: Facebook The Italian was riding along the spectacular Transfagarasan road - famously crowned the "most beautiful in the world" by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear. He encountered a bear on the route, uploading a video of a shaggy beast peering onto the road, and returned the next day in hope of spotting another. Omar got what he was looking for when he met a bear with cubs wandering around a car park, and stopped to feed it. That turned out to be a terrible mistake. A photo found his mobile shows Omar, kitted out in sunnies a helmet for his pleasure ride, grinning and pointing to a brown bear who is standing just metres away. He also took a video of the predator as it prowled around the area, flicking menacing glares at the camera. The biker can be heard saying: "Here is the bear! How beautiful! It's coming towards me," in his native Italian. Omar uploaded the video to Facebook - but that would be the last thing he ever did. Just moments later, the bear charged him and unleashed a ferocious attack. The beast dragged Omar out of the car park and about 60 metres into a ravine, where it mauled him to death. Bloodthirsty bear leaves only woman's severed head behind in vicious attack as victim's last moments captured on CCTV Passing motorists witnessed the harrowing scene and immediately called the emergency services. Police officers, firefighters and forest rangers all rushed to the scene - but Omar could not be saved. The rescue teams managed to recover his body, which was covered in bite wounds, and took it away for a post-mortem. Armand Chiriloiu, director of the forest authority, told Romanian newspaper Cancan: 'He got off his motorbike and offered some food to the bear. 5 Omar spotted this bear the previous day - and returned to see more Credit: Facebook 5 The bear was shot dead by rangers following Omar's death Credit: Facebook 'The Italian tourist's phone was also found, which contained some photos taken before the attack.

He also took a video of the bear as he passed it on his bike. The clip shows a shaggy bear peering onto the road over a barrier as Zin trundles past on his bike.

Kyiv targeted as Ukraine suffers largest aerial assault since start of Russian war
Russia launched 550 drones and missiles across Ukraine overnight in the largest aerial assaults since the war began. The seven-hour onslaught targeted the capital Kyiv, destroying residential buildings and cars, leaving debris strewn across streets and injuring 23. The Russian strikes also hit Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it had been a "harsh and sleepless night". The strikes came hours after US President Donald Trump told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call that he was "not happy" that Moscow was making no moves towards a ceasefire. Asked whether he made any progress with Putin on a deal to end the fighting in Ukraine, Trump said: "No, I didn't make any progress with him today at all.' "I'm not happy about that. I'm not happy about that,' he added. Yuri Ushakov, Putin's foreign affairs adviser, said the Russian leader would seek to remove the "root causes" of the conflict.'Russia will not back down from these goals,' Ushakov told reporters after the call. Trump said he will be speaking with Mr Zelensky on Friday. Friday's attack comes less than a week after Russia launched its previous largest aerial assault of the war, which has raged for more than three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. In a social post on X, Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha described the attacks as "one of the worst so far". "Absolutely horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv," he added. Ukraine's economy minister Yuliia Svyrydenko described 'families running into metro stations, basements, underground parking garages, mass destruction in the heart of our capital.''What Kyiv endured last night cannot be called anything but a deliberate act of terror,' she wrote on X.
