Rome: Rescuers on Wednesday searched for four workers still missing after an explosion at a hydroelectric plant in Italy, the fire service said, revising the death toll from four to three.

A local authority official in nearby Bologna had on Tuesday evening told AFP that four people were killed in the incident at the Bargi hydroelectric plant run by Enel Green Power on Lake Suviana, near Bologna.

But this was revised overnight.

"The toll is four missing and three dead," the fire service spokesman told AFP on Wednesday morning.

"The searches are continuing, the situation is particularly complex," with water still entering the plant, he added.
