An inflatable boat carrying two migrants arrived on its own at the town of Caleta Caballo, in the municipality of Teguise, Lanzarote, on Tuesday night.

The Lanzarote Security and Emergency Consortium reported that the zodiac reached the aforementioned coastal town at 10:10 PM on Tuesday. The two men, of Maghrebi origin, stated they had departed from Sidi Ifni, Morocco, three days prior.
This incident marks the second arrival of migrant boats in Lanzarote on the same day. Earlier, the Salvamar Al Nair had rescued 22 sub-Saharan migrants, including two women, from an inflatable boat adrift 20 kilometers east of the island.
According to sources from Maritime Rescue, all those rescued disembarked at the port of Arrecife in apparently good health.
