SIBU – The search-and-rescue operation for three teenagers who went missing yesterday evening after being swept away by strong currents while bathing in the Batang Lassa River near Nangar in Daro, about 125km from here, continues today.

A spokesman at the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department Operations Centre said the operation, involving the department, police, Civil Defence Force, and villagers, was halted at about 7.45pm yesterday due to the dark weather.
