Six irregular migrants from Mali were killed and 28 others were injured when their boat sank off the coast of the Mauritanian city of Nouadhibou, which borders the Spanish Canary Islands.

Local sources reported on Wednesday that the irregular migrants set off from the coast of the Mauritanian city, and the boat they were traveling in sank, which resulted in the death of six of them and the injury of 28 others.

The coasts of Mauritania have witnessed large waves of African migrants heading to the Spanish Canary Islands. Spain says that 90 percent of irregular migrant boats originate from the coast of Mauritania.
