by

DAKAR: Senegal's military said Saturday it had intercepted a boat carrying more than 200 migrants trying to reach Europe, after about 90 people died trying to cross the Atlantic earlier this month. The boat intercepted by the patrol boat in fishing waters near Lompoul in northwest Senegal on Friday was carrying 202 people, including five women and a child, the military said on X. In early July, a boat carrying about 170 people from Senegal capsized off the coast of Mauritania, killing about 90 people.
