Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced plans to deploy navy warships near Libya to combat irregular migration, responding to a surge in migrant landings. In a recent 24-hour period, 731 migrants arrived on Greek islands. The Prime Minister stressed the need for preventive measures in collaboration with Libyan authorities and European powers to undermine smuggler operations. With over 60,000 arrivals last year, and a risky shift in trafficking routes from North Africa, Greece aims to strengthen its maritime border security alongside ongoing efforts against trafficking.
