A fisherman alerted authorities about a possible landing of migrants in the Meco area, in Spain. The alarm allowed security forces to initiate a rapid response operation.
The authorities located a rubber boat on Foz beach, in the Meco area. The vessel was reportedly used for the crossing that brought the migrants to the Spanish coast.
After the discovery of the vessel, authorities launched a search operation to locate the migrants who fled the scene. Security forces continue to search for the fugitives in the area.
The case falls within the context of migratory flows that continue to arrive at Spanish coasts through irregular sea crossings.
