On Monday, a Royal Navy unit intercepted a boat carrying 155 irregular migrants, including 14 minors and three women, all of whom hold Senegalese nationality, according to a military source quoted by MAP.

The boat, intercepted 50 kilometers southwest of Dakhla, had left the port of Dakar in Senegal on October 2, 2023, heading towards the Canary Islands.

The migrants received the necessary treatment before being handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie to carry out the ongoing administrative procedures, said the same source.
