Overview
- The Ertzaintza’s mountain rescue unit restarted operations this morning for a shepherd who disappeared yesterday near the Campas de Urbia on Aizkorri’s southern slope.
- Family members raised the alarm shortly before 20:00 after he was expected to descend via the Katabera mines toward the Brinkola area.
- Rescuers searched a hut the shepherd often uses and several nearby bordas overnight before a snowstorm forced a pause.
- Efforts resumed with UVR specialists working with a rural patrol from the Ertzain-etxea de Oria under coordination by a Basque Government emergency technician.
- Heavy snow and poor visibility in Gipuzkoa are making ground searches difficult, and authorities say the situation remains developing.
