Last Sunday, three ships arrived in Cyprus, carrying a total of 190 migrants on board. One of them fell overboard, and the search for him has not been successful so far.
According to the police press service, on Sunday afternoon, three boats were found in the maritime area of Cape Greco, carrying 190 undocumented migrants. One person fell into the sea from the first boat. Drones and maritime vessels were deployed in the search for the missing person.
