Four minors have drowned while they were swimming in the Shahdan valley.

Four children aged 8 to 12 drowned in the Shahdan valley, east of Jazan, while they were swimming in water that had accumulated due to recent rainfall in the area.

Onlookers who witnessed the children calling for help notified the Civil Defense but it was too late when rescuers made it to the scene.

The children’s bodies were transported to the mortuary at Sabya General Hospital and the Civil Defense has repeated its warning to the public against crossing or swimming in valleys.
