The operation in the border area of Austria and Bavaria continues: rescuers are looking for a missing journalist.
Braunau/Munich – A well-known journalist is missing in the Inn Valley.
The search efforts on Thursday (February 8th) initially yielded no results.
After an emergency call was received in the morning, a large contingent of emergency services was deployed.
Police, fire brigade, water rescue service and technical relief agency searched the Inn with several boats, starting from Braunau in Austria.
The measures extended to the German side around Kirchdorf am Inn (Rottal-Inn district).
Since the Inn is a border river, emergency services from Austria and Germany were involved.

Initially the operation had no result.

There is no new status in the matter.
