MUSCAT : National search and rescue teams are intensifying efforts to locate a citizen who went missing at sea after falling from a fishing boat near the Al-Bar area in the Wilayat of Sur on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

The incident occurred during a fishing trip with friends. Abdul Hadi bin Nabhan Al-Salti was last seen at 9 p.m. Witnesses reported that he appeared unwell, experiencing nausea and dizziness before falling from the front of the boat. Despite immediate attempts by his companions to locate him, their efforts were unsuccessful.

The missing man’s brother told Atheer that the family is deeply concerned. “The report was submitted less than 15 minutes after the incident, and a search was conducted but to no avail,” he said. A helicopter, divers, and local fishermen are now involved in the search operation.
