    An aerial photograph shows six vessels gathered in open blue-turquoise water. One vessel on the upper left appears to be heavily overcrowded with numerous people, consistent with a migrant or refugee boat interception scenario. Several other boats, including what appear to be patrol or coast guard vessels, are positioned nearby.
