One of Spain’s maritime rescue vessels rescued 17 North African migrants in the early hours of this Tuesday morning (9 May) from a craft that was 34 miles southeast of the coast of Malaga. All are of legal age and are in good health, according to the authorities.

A plane from the European border and coast guard agency (Frontex) raised the alarm at 7.14pm on Monday, 8 May, and the migrants were eventually rescued early this Tuesday by the Salvamar Alnitak, which transferred the 17 individuals to the Port of Malaga.
