Some 42 irregular migrants, who were traveling by boat in the Aegean Sea, have been nabbed by Turkish Coast Guards Tuesday.

The 42 irregular migrants include 15 children.

The migrants were nabbed in the Dikili district in Izmir province on Türkiye’s Aegean Coast while they were trying to go abroad via illegal ways, according to a statement. ​​​​​​​

They were taken to the provincial migration authorities.

Türkiye has been a critical transit point for irregular migrants who want to cross into Europe to start new lives, especially those fleeing war and persecution.
