refugees and contacted the Coast Guard for assistance. The Coast Guard
arrived at the area and managed to rescue 20 people.
Meanwhile, a Coast Guard vessel which was in pursuit of human traffickers
ran aground on Thursday evening near the Turkish shores due to a technical
problem. No injuries were reported.
