A unit of the Royal Navy intercepted on Thursday off the coast of Tantan, as part of a sea assistance and rescue mission, a distressed inflatable boat carrying 58 candidates for irregular migration, including 11 women and a minor, according to military sources.

Once transferred aboard the Royal Navy unit, all the rescued individuals, of Sub-Saharan origin, received initial medical care before being transported to the Port of Tan-Tan on the same day and handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for standard administrative procedures, as reported by the same source.
