Another two boats with Syrians were spotted at 01:00 on Tuesday morning (2/4) with a total of 68 migrants from Syria.
2 men aged 26 and 52 from Syria were arrested.
It is recalled that 136 Syrians entered illegally by sea on Monday and another 272 on Sunday, raising the number in the last 48 hours to 476.
In the meantime, the competent agencies of the Republic remain on full alert as Cyprus has been receiving massive flows of immigrants in the last few hours. All immigrants are transferred to Pournara for accommodation.
In addition, the immigration issue is expected to be the focus of an emergency meeting of the National Security Council convened by President Christodoulidis on Tuesday morning.
