Three irregular migrants - a woman and two children - have been brought to Malta after being rescued by the AFM.

The police said the three were landed at Hay Wharf.

Informed sources said the AFM intercepted a boat carrying about 30 migrants off Delimara this morning. All the migrants refused assistance other than the woman and her two children who were transferred to a patrol boat.

Another patrol boat is monitoring the migrants' boat as it heads towards Italy.
