Asturias, Spain – Video filmed by X user Guardia Civil shows an ongoing large-scale search operation for a missing 19-year-old man at Playa de Salinas.

The aerial footage, recorded from a Guardia Civil helicopter, begins with sweeping views of a rocky breakwater and rough sea conditions along the coastline.

It then moves across the wide sandy beach, the nearby coastal town, and surrounding hills before shifting to interior cockpit and cabin shots showing the crew during the operation.

From the air, the camera scans the open water continuously, searching for any sign of the missing swimmer, while a small boat can be seen operating at a distance.

The search effort involves coordinated action between Guardia Civil, 112 Asturias, and Salvamento Marítimo.

The young man went missing yesterday afternoon while swimming at the beach, prompting an immediate response and ongoing search operation.

The helicopter video highlights the scale of the effort across sea and air as authorities continue searching the coastal waters of Asturias.
