Teams from the Coast Guard's North Aegean Group Command received a distress signal from the rubber dinghy.

Upon arrival, they found 43 migrants on board, including women and children.

All migrants were safely rescued and brought to shore.

After completing the necessary procedures at the Ayvacık Foreigners Repatriation Centre, the migrants will receive further assistance.

After the rescue, the 43 irregular migrants were immediately transferred to the Ayvacık District Foreigners Repatriation Centre. The centre will carry out standard procedures as part of the immigration process.

The incident highlights the ongoing efforts of the Turkish authorities to manage and respond to irregular migration in the region, and underlines the crucial role of the Coast Guard in protecting lives and ensuring the humane treatment of individuals attempting unauthorized sea crossings. (ILKHA)
