38 people – 22 men, 8 women, 8 children and one baby, claiming to be Syrian and Afghan, have been rescued by border police in the stormy sea off Cape Shabla. 

Their boar was sailing towards Romania in the dark, before it was intercepted by the Bulgarian officers in the early morning. After failing to respond, the border police officers sent a ship, after which the boat was apprehended and towed to the port of Kavarna. The operation was coordinated with the Romanian coast guards and the European border and coast guard agency (Frontex) throughout.
