The operation was initiated upon receiving information about the presence of rubber boats carrying irregular migrants in the region.

The Coast Guard teams, dispatched promptly to the area, managed to capture 50 irregular migrants, ensuring the safety of all individuals involved, including 8 minors.

In a separate operation off the coast of Muğla, 25 more irregular migrants were detained along with 1 suspected migrant smuggler. This operation underscores the ongoing efforts of the Turkish authorities to curb illegal migration and human smuggling activities.

Following the operations, all rescued and detained migrants were sent to the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management for further procedures. The authorities are committed to ensuring the well-being of the migrants and upholding the rule of law. (ILKHA)
