Rescue teams have mobilised a comprehensive search operation for six hikers reported missing in the Kelantan mountains, with operations now extending four days beyond their expected return date. The multi-pronged effort encompasses land-based teams, aerial reconnaissance and water-based units to cover the remote terrain and nearby water sources where the group may be located.
Authorities have deployed personnel across the region to systematically search the mountainous areas where the hikers were last known to be. The decision to scale up operations reflects concerns about the extended timeline and the challenging conditions present in the highlands during this period.
The search operation represents a significant coordination effort among regional rescue agencies tasked with locating the missing group in terrain that presents considerable logistical challenges. Teams are working to cover both accessible routes and remote areas where the hikers could have become stranded or disoriented.
Details regarding the composition of the hiking group and the specific route they were undertaking remain part of the ongoing investigation. Authorities continue to appeal for any information that could assist in locating the missing individuals.
