Search under way for migrant boat in the Alborán Sea.

Maritime Rescue vessels are searching for a small boat which could be carrying 23 migrants, including three women and three children.

The authorities received notification that a small boat had set off from Nador and was making its way to the Spanish mainland.

The search is being concentrated in what is described as the ‘probability area’, which in this case is east of the Isla de Alborán. Helicopters are also being used in the endeavour.
