A 50-year-old Lithuanian woman has died in a mountain incident in Italy, the Foreign Ministry confirmed to BNS on Friday.

According to the ministry, the Italian police informed the Lithuanian embassy about the woman’s death on Thursday.

The ministry gave no further details on the circumstances of the incident, citing personal data protection constraints.
