DAKAR: Senegal's military said on Saturday it had intercepted a boat carrying more than 200 migrants trying to reach Europe, after nearly 90 migrants died attempting the perilous Atlantic crossing earlier this month. The boat intercepted by the patrol boat in the fishing waters off Lompoul in northwestern Senegal was carrying 202 people, including five women and a minor, on Friday, the army posted on X. In early July, a boat carrying around 170 people that set sail from Senegal capsized off the coast of Mauritania, killing nearly 90 people.
