ADEN (Xinhua) – At least 70 bodies of migrants were recovered on Monday from the coast near Yakhtul, north of Mokha, Yemen, according to a Yemeni official.

This discovery follows reports from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on Friday, which stated that 186 individuals were missing after four migrant boats capsized off the coasts of Yemen and Djibouti.

The official, who requested anonymity, noted that the death toll could rise as search operations continue along the coastline. Local fishermen have been assisting authorities in retrieving the bodies.
