The joint SAR team is looking for a young man who has drowned in the flow of water while crossing the Katibung river in Purwodadi Village, Way Sulan District, South Lampung Regency.

"Yes, that's right, on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at around 14.00 WIB, a drowning person named Ubaidilah was 17 years old, a resident of Sinar Mulya Hamlet, Purwodadi Village," said Head of the Bakauheni SAR Post Rezie Kuswara, as reported by ANTARA.

According to him, the incident began when the victim and four of his colleagues were fishing in the Way Katibung River, Purwodadi Village.

Then the victim tried to cross the river by swimming, but while in the middle of the river the victim was dragged by the current and drowned.

After the incident, the witnesses of the victim's colleagues tried to help chase by swimming, but because the river flow was quite heavy and the witnesses could not find the victim.

"The witness informed local residents and village officials as well as the police, who then tried to find victims by walking along the Way Sulan river from the top of the embankment, but until now the victim has not been found," he said.

He explained that for this incident, his party immediately coordinated with other related parties to search for victims.
