Valverde (El Hierro), 2 (Europa Press)
Maritime rescue operations escorted two Cayucos, carrying approximately 120 migrants, into the port of La Restinga (El Hierro) this morning, as reported by the national agency on Sunday.
Additionally, at 2:14 a.m. this Sunday, the Civil Guard reported detecting a radar echo, which could potentially indicate a Cayuco or Patera located 8 miles from La Restinga.
The Maritime Rescue Centre in Tenerife then activated the Salvamar Acrux, which arrived at the Cayuco at 3:00 a.m. and escorted it to port.
This vessel was thought to be carrying around 70 individuals from sub-Saharan regions.
Subsequently, around 6:24 a.m., the Civil Guard detected another radar echo, possibly another Cayuco or Patera, situated 8 miles from La Restinga.
The Salvamar Adhara was dispatched, arriving at the Cayuco at 7:00 a.m. and escorting it to the port.
Onboard this second Cayuco, there were approximately 50 migrants, a mix of individuals from the Maghreb and sub-Saharan areas.
