Authorities in Crete completed a rescue operation involving 112 migrants off the island's coast. The operation resulted in the arrest of a 15-year-old youth suspected of involvement in human smuggling operations. The rescue highlights ongoing challenges related to irregular migration routes through the eastern Mediterranean.
The rescued migrants have been transferred to authorities for processing and registration. The arrest underscores law enforcement efforts to dismantle smuggling networks operating in the region, particularly those involving minors in trafficking activities.
