An emergency search has been launched after three climbers fell into the sea near St Govan’s Head in Pembrokeshire. Coastguard helicopters and lifeboat crews were scrambled to the towering cliffs after the alarm was raised at around 4pm.
Rescue crews from Fishguard, St Govan’s and Tenby were sent to the scene alongside an HM Coastguard helicopter and an Irish Coastguard aircraft. A Wales Air Ambulance and an RNLI lifeboat from Angle were also dispatched as the major response gathered pace. It remains unclear where the three casualties were when the incident occurred, including whether they were on the cliff face, at the top of the cliffs or elsewhere nearby. Witnesses reported seeing several emergency vehicles and helicopters arriving, with rescue teams working along the coastline.
