A devastating explosion rocked a semi-submerged hydroelectric plant near Lake Suviana in Bargi, Italy. The incident, which occurred in the early afternoon, resulted in three workers sustaining injuries, with over sixty firefighters deployed to search for potential missing individuals.

The explosion triggered a massive response effort, with approximately 100 firefighters engaged in complex search and rescue operations, including 61 reinforcements from neighbouring regions. Specialised teams, including Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) units, divers, Alpine Speleological Fluvial units, conventional rescue squads, and expert topographers, have been mobilised to the scene.

As the search intensifies, concerns grow for the safety and well-being of the four missing individuals. The exact cause of the explosion remains under investigation, and emergency response efforts are ongoing to mitigate the situation and ensure the safety of all involved.
