A six-month-old boy who was snatched in Ekaterinburg has been found safe and well. The kidnapping happened on Monday near one of the city's churches.

The boy's 17-year-old mother says she looked away from the baby's cradle only for a short moment, and when she turned back, it was already gone. Police found the boy in a public dormitory, but the search for the kidnapper goes on. This is the second such incident in Ekaterinburg in the last two weeks. Police had previously detained a woman who kidnapped a one-year-old girl.
