The Coast Guard received reports of migrants in distress and deployed boats to the area. They located and rescued the migrants from two life rafts and a rubber boat.
According to local reports, the migrants were previously pushed back into Turkish waters by Greek authorities.
Following the rescue operation, the irregular migrants were transferred to the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management to undergo necessary procedures and receive assistance.
The incident sheds light on the ongoing challenges faced by those seeking refuge across borders, and the tireless efforts of rescue teams to provide assistance in dire situations. (ILKHA)
