Moroccan rescue services Sunday recovered the bodies of around 20 migrants in the Mediterranean, a spokeswoman for the Spanish enclave of Melilla said.

The bodies of the migrants, from sub-Saharan Africa, were spotted by a Spanish patrol boat, which alerted the rescue services of both countries, the spokeswoman said. She added that "about 20" bodies were then recovered in Moroccan territorial waters.
