A large-scale search and rescue operation has been launched after reports that several women were swept off coastal rocks in a terrifying incident.
Emergency services, including coastguard teams and lifeboat crews, are combing the area amid growing concerns for the group's welfare.
Emergency Response Mobilised
Witnesses reported seeing the women being pulled into the sea by powerful waves while walking along the rocky shoreline. The exact location of the incident hasn't been officially confirmed, but multiple emergency units have converged on the scene.
Dangerous Conditions
Local authorities have warned about potentially hazardous coastal conditions in the region, with strong currents and unpredictable waves posing significant risks to shoreline visitors.
Maritime safety experts emphasise that even experienced coastal walkers can be caught unaware by sudden changes in sea conditions, particularly during changing tides.
Public Warning Issued
Coastguard officials have issued a stern warning to the public:
- Always check tide times before coastal walks
- Stay well away from the water's edge on rocky outcrops
- Wear appropriate footwear for slippery surfaces
- Carry a means of calling for help
The search operation continues as daylight begins to fade, with hopes remaining high for a positive outcome. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
