During the mission however, one of the K9 dogs named Denti and four officers experienced health problems and were instructed to rest.
According to Utusan Malaysia, MAS-10 Team Leader Abdul Manaf Che Isa said the four officers suffered from a fever and their hands and shoulders were injured due to the weather.
As for Denti, she was suffering from a flu and has been placed on sick leave as well.
However, Abdul Manaf assured that the rescue mission will not be affected by the minor setback.
