Naval forces foiled on Thursday an illegal immigration attempt by 14 Egyptians, Military Spokesman Mohamed Samir said.

While patrolling the Mediterranean Sea coast, naval personnel suspected a fishing boat.

The forces searched the boat to find 14 Egyptians aged between 12 to 20 years old in addition to six crew members seeking to infiltrate into Italy. 

Needed legal measures were taken against people on board.
