The sailor sustained a serious back injury after falling on board the Turkish commercial vessel "HACI ALI SARI," which was positioned 28 nautical miles north of Azeffoun in the Tizi Ouzou province. Following a distress call received by the National Center for Maritime Surveillance and Rescue Operations on October 26, a search and rescue helicopter from the 560th Squadron of the 1st Military Region was deployed. The victim was rapidly transported to Zeralda Hospital for initial emergency treatment before being transferred to Beni Messous Hospital for further medical care.
