The searches that have been launched in Modena since Wednesday afternoon to locate Yahya Hkimi , still 19 years old, missing in the Secchia river after having dived into the water despite the strong current at that point, in Marzaglia, are still ongoing and still without success .

The course of the river was diverted at the point where the young man dived : the dramatic moment was immortalized with a smartphone by a minor friend present who, when he never saw him re-emerge, immediately raised the alarm. The firefighters immediately started the search, with the help of divers and the helicopter.

The police are instead viewing the latest video, which will be useful for firefighters to identify the exact point where the young man of North African origin decided to dive into the water, around 3.30 pm on Wednesday in Marzaglia.

20 units of the fire brigade are participating in the searches, with divers from the Bologna nucleus, river teams made up of units from Modena, Reggio Emilia, Parma and Piacenza, equipped with rafting rafts, local command units with cartographic TAS personnel coordinated by an official. The "Drago" helicopter of the Bologna flight department and the Sapr pilots of the drones flew over the area.
