Afghanistan Port
Ship with migrants from Afghanistan docks at Greek port
A Turkish-flagged ship, which was carrying 382 mostly Afghan migrants docked safely at a Greek island's port early on Sunday, media reports said on Tuesday.
Six people among what was the country's biggest single influx of migrants in years were detained after the vessel, the Murat 729, was towed into Kos port by a Greek coast guard ship, the migration ministry said as quoted by Khaama Press.
The other arrivals were taken to a reception centre on the island. Their stay at the centre, where they will be processed and quarantined, will be temporary, the ministry said.
The Taliban captured Afghanistan on Aug 15.
A large number of Afghanistan people have escaped since then.
