A teacher in Russia's Perm Region has died after being stabbed by a 17-year-old teenager at a school entrance, according to the regional governor. The incident occurred on the morning of April 7 at School No. 5 in the town of Dobryanka.

Governor Dmitry Makhonin initially reported on his Telegram channel that the teacher was in critical condition and that doctors were fighting for her life. An air ambulance team, including a multidisciplinary group of doctors, was dispatched from the regional capital Perm. The attacker was detained by police, and law enforcement officers were working at the scene.

Later, Makhonin confirmed the teacher's death, identifying her as Olesya Baguta, a Russian language and literature teacher. "Unfortunately, despite all efforts by medics, Olesya Baguta ... could not be saved," the governor wrote on his channel on Max. He expressed his deepest condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues.
