A Ukrainian girl, Mariia Buhaiova, who just a few days ago turned 18, disappeared from a tourist village on the coast of Carovigno (Brindisi), where she is doing an internship.
The same accommodation facility filed a missing person report with the Carabinieri, who began the search. The mayor of Carovigno, Massimo Lanzilotti, also shared the photo of the 18-year-old in a social post, asking "anyone who sees her to immediately contact the Carabinieri station in Carovigno". The search is being conducted on land and at sea.
The girl is part of a group that is doing an internship in various hotel facilities on the coast in the north of Brindisi.
This afternoon the municipal operations center (Coc) was activated, which is set up in emergency situations, and in this case it will serve to coordinate the searches. On the field since yesterday there are also volunteers from the Red Cross, while the activities at sea are conducted with the help of the Lega Navale of Torre Santa Sabina and Specchiolla.
"A quiet girl. She has always felt good with us. She was supposed to leave today because her internship was ending." The director of Meditur, Cosimo Cappelletti, told Ansa: "There are investigations underway and I can't add anything else. I repeat, with us," he added, "she felt good during this period."
