A body of one of the three missing individuals was found after severe thunderstorms and a rockslide hit southeast Switzerland, causing devastation. Two others remain missing. Ignazio Cassis expressed grief, while 200 rescuers continue the search despite adverse weather. Authorities noted major infrastructure damage in the region, including the A13 motorway.

Rescue teams in Switzerland recovered the body of one of three missing individuals following a devastating rockslide caused by intense thunderstorms in the southeast region, officials reported. The tragic event prompted a large-scale emergency response with over 200 personnel deployed to the area.

Ignazio Cassis, a Swiss Federal Council member, expressed sorrow on behalf of the government after visiting the affected site. Cassis noted the remote possibility of finding the remaining two individuals alive, as rescuers faced challenges from continuing severe weather conditions.

The rockslide obliterated three houses in Lostallo in Graubünden's Misox Valley and wreaked havoc on critical infrastructure. Authorities confirmed significant damage to motorway A13, a key transit route to Italy, which is expected to be out of service for several months, complicating transportation in the region.
