These rescue missions were part of three separate incidents, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by migrants seeking refuge across the Mediterranean.

The rescue operations, conducted by Turkish authorities, unfolded in both Muğla and İzmir provinces. In total, 87 irregular migrants were apprehended during these coordinated efforts to ensure the safety of those in distress.

Following the successful rescues, the irregular migrants were promptly transported to the Provincial Directorate of Migration Management, where necessary procedures and support services will be provided.
