Health Ministry remains silent on reports of Kadyrov's beach rescue operation
Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the Chechen Republic, almost drowned while swimming at a beach in Bodrum, Turkey, on July 24, 2025. The incident has sparked a flurry of speculation, but official statements remain scarce.
Eyewitnesses and hotel staff spotted Kadyrov in distress shortly after he entered the sea. He was promptly rescued by hotel staff and the Turkish Coast Guard, given first aid on the beach, and then taken to a private hospital by ambulance. Medical personnel confirmed that his injuries were not life-threatening, and he has since been released from the hospital in stable condition.
Despite the incident, there have been no official statements from Kadyrov or his press service regarding the near-drowning.
