Migrants rescued off Kythira island

The 38 migrants that were on board were transferred to the fishing boat which took them to Porto Kayo.

Later, the coast guard vessel collected three more persons that were on a dinghy and a rescue barrel. The rescued informed the authorities that a person that was with them on the sailboat was missing.

Two patrol vessels assisted by a Greek army helicopter searched the area and located the missing person safe on a rocky coast.

Two of the 38 rescued were arrested alleged to be the traffickers.
