A Royal Navy high-sea patrol boat intercepted a pirogue carrying 75 would-be irregular migrants, all of Senegalese nationality, off Dakhla on Thursday, military sources said.

The pirogue in question set sail from the Senegalese coast on August 12, 2023, bound for Spain, the source added.

The people rescued were given the necessary treatment before being handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for the usual administrative procedures, it added.
