A search operation is currently underway in the Fanal area of Madeira to locate a foreign national.
The alert was raised by the young man's mother, who is abroad, at 3:30 pm. The individual's mobile phone automatically activated the SOS system, establishing contact with his mother. After unsuccessful attempts to speak with her son, she contacted the regional authorities.
São Vicente Volunteer Firefighters, along with members of the GNR (National Republican Guard) and the Forestry Police, are on the scene. At this time, there is no confirmation that the young man is lost or injured, but efforts to locate him are ongoing.
