Head of Basarnas Kendari Aminuddin PS said the man was named Muchtar (40) who was reported missing by his family at 15.25 WITA.
"We received information that there has been a dangerous condition for a resident who went missing in a swamp on the banks of the Angkona River," Aminuddin said when contacted in Kendari, Wednesday, July 24, as reported by Antara.

"The distance from the location with the East Luwu SAR Alert Unit is about 22 kilometers with cloudy weather conditions with the potential for rain," he said.
Aminuddin revealed that in the process of searching for victims, several elements were involved, namely the East Luwu SAR Alert Unit, East Luwu BPBD, PSC PKM Malili, Malili Firefighters, Anggana Unit Firefighters, surrounding communities and families of victims.
