Coastguard Helicopter Launches Search Operation on River Medway

A coastguard helicopter is currently conducting a search operation for a person reportedly in trouble in the River Medway, between Rochester and Medway City Estate. The emergency response was triggered after reports of a potential incident in the water, though details about the individual involved remain scarce.

The helicopter has been seen circling the area as part of the ongoing efforts to locate the person. Local authorities, including the coastguard and emergency services, are coordinating the search, and boats have been deployed to assist with the operation.

Residents and passersby have been urged to stay clear of the area to allow emergency crews to continue their work uninterrupted. The situation is developing, and further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
