Twelve bodies were recovered early Wednesday off the coast of Joal-Fadiouth in the Mbour department, western Senegal, following the capsizing of a pirogue carrying migrants, reported Xinhua, quoting the Senegalese Press Agency (APS). The death toll remains provisional, with 35 survivors having been handed over to the local gendarmerie brigade for the ongoing investigation into the accident, the APS reported, citing security sources. The total number of passengers aboard the vessel has not yet been determined, nor have the causes of the capsizing, which occurred at around 5:00 a.m. local time, the agency said.
