12 migrants missing in Mediterranean Sea after boat capsizes on Spanish island

Twelve migrants are missing after jumping off a boat while heading towards Spain's Balearic archipelago in the Mediterranean.

Another 14 migrants were rescued from the same boat 58 kilometers southeast of the island of Cabrera, local officials said. The rescued migrants told officials that 12 passengers had jumped from the boat.

The Spanish Civil Guard and Coast Guard are searching for the missing people, who were from North Africa.

The migration route from North Africa to the Balearics has seen an increase this year, according to interior ministry figures.

As of August 15, 4,323 migrants had arrived on the islands since the beginning of the year, compared to 2,443 on the same date in 2024, a 77 percent increase./ CNA
