The abortion of this illegal immigration attempt took place following the localization by security services of an inflatable boat carrying these people, the source added.
According to local authorities, these migrants were taken, safe and sound, by the Royal Navy to the port of Laayoune.
Security services have increased over the past few weeks their operations regarding irregular immigration attempts in the Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra region, which led to the arrest of several migrants and the rescue of numerous drifting boats.
These operations are part of the fight led by the various security services and local authorities against illegal immigration and human trafficking networks.
