Salvador lost at sea
A Coast Guard military result missing at sea after intervening to save two swimmers along the coast of Milazzo. Sea conditions, the Coast Guard itself stresses, make it difficult for the military to search.
Late in the morning today, despite the strong wind and the stormy sea, two boys decided to take a swim in the sea in front of Ponente beach, challenging the waves a few meters high. At one point they found themselves in difficulties due to the stormy sea that prevented them from reaching the shore. The men from the Coast Guard (including the missing person) and firefighters intervened in the act. Meanwhile, one of the two young men had managed to escape alone while the other remained at the mercy of the waves for about an hour. He saved himself by clinging to a buoy waiting for help. Taking advantage of a moment of calm in the wind, he reached the shore, helped by rescuers who took him to shore, where an ambulance was waiting for him.
