Search operations are currently underway for 22-year-old Elgun Elchin oglu Garayev, who went missing on July 15 after drowning in an uncontrolled area of the sea, approximately 2 kilometers from the nearest rescue station in the Mardakan settlement of the Khazar district in Baku.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the Ministry of Emergency Situations has officially confirmed the ongoing efforts to locate the individual.
The Ministry stated that the search is being conducted continuously by diver-rescuers from the State Service for Control over Small Ships and Water Rescue. The teams are focusing their efforts on the areas where the citizen is presumed to have drowned.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations, which serves as the primary agency for disaster response and public safety in Azerbaijan, frequently conducts such search and rescue operations during the summer season. As temperatures rise, the Ministry consistently urges citizens to adhere to safety regulations, swim only in designated areas, and avoid entering the water during unfavorable weather conditions to prevent such tragic incidents.
Further updates will be provided as the search operation progresses.
