A family of Asian tourists was washed into the ocean in Oman. The Omani police continue their search. This was reported by the Al-Arabiya TV channel.
A family was swept out to sea after standing behind a fence on Mughsail Beach in Dhofar province, the Omani Civil Defense Authority (CDAA) said.
Three people who were swept away by the wave were rescued, and two people, one of whom was a minor, were found dead. Helicopters of the Royal Air Force of Oman were involved in the search for three more.
In recent days, several similar cases have happened in Oman – a strong current and rolling waves have carried more than one person into the sea. On July 10, tourist facilities on the territory of the Sultanate were closed to avoid new cases.
“Due to the high volume of reports, indifference, and non-compliance with instructions, directives, and warnings (CDAA), we urge all citizens, residents, and visitors of Oman visiting our country’s tourist attractions to be vigilant and strictly follow the requirements of local authorities,” the Office of Civil Defense said in a statement.
