Dangerous Situation at Night
On the evening of January 25th, Mr. Aleksandra (44 years old, Russian nationality), who was vacationing at the T’House hotel in Ham Tien ward, Phan Thiet city, decided to enjoy kite surfing. However, around 6 PM, unexpected strong winds caused him to lose control of his kite board, leading to a perilous situation. His kite board and him were blown far from shore.
Timely rescue of Russian tourist at Mui Ne
Mr. Aleksandra is safely brought back to shore after hours adrift.
When he did not return by evening, his friends became concerned and promptly informed the hotel staff and relevant authorities.
Determined Rescue Mission
Upon receiving the report, the Mui Ne Border Station deployed a rescue team consisting of two officers and four local fishermen aboard a fishing boat to search for Mr. Aleksandra. After several tense hours, around 1:30 AM on January 26th, the rescue team spotted him about 1.5 nautical miles offshore near Phu Hai, in a fatigued but conscious state. He was quickly brought onto the boat and safely returned to shore.
