National and Local Police, Firefighters and Red Cross personnel are searching for

a minor who disappeared this Wednesday while bathing in the Guadiana River as it passed through the city of Badajoz,

operational sources have reported.

The group of friends who accompanied the minor this afternoon have given the

alert of his disappearance,

so police units, members of the Local Fire Station and Red Cross volunteers have immediately traveled to the place, a stretch of the river near the Las Crispitas weir and known as 'La Pesquera'.

Despite the tracking efforts both on the banks of the river and in the channel itself, and that they have had an inflatable boat, the operation has not located the minor and

the search has been suspended due to lack of visibility,

although it will be resumed early this Thursday, Red Cross sources informed Efe.
