Migrants rescued from the sea
A group of 28 migrants has been landed in Malta by an AFM patrol boat after the migrants were pulled up from the sea in a night-time rescue by a tug boat.
The tug boat Schottland,had been towing a tuna pen when it came across the migrants, some 65 miles off Malta.
The migrants ended up in the water after their boat capsized. It is not clear whether the capsize occurred after they spotted the tug. The migrants were later transferred to the patrol boat
