The State Border Service mentioned at least 63 illegal migrants, including those from Afghanistan, Syria and Somalia, who were being transported to EU countries, such as Italy and Greece, on board pleasure boats last month.
The announcement came as the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Geneva said late last month that the number of refugees drowning in the Mediterranean Sea while attempting to reach asylum in Europe could reach a record of 30,000 by the end of 2015.
According to the IOM, about 1,727 migrants have died at sea since the beginning of this year.
The tragedy came two years after the deadly shipwreck which saw a boat with migrants from Libya sinking off the Italian island of Lampedusa and killing more than 360 people on board on October 3, 2013.
During the second Lampedusa shipwreck, at least 34 people were killed after a boat carrying migrants from Syria and Palestine capsized 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Lampedusa on October 11, 2013.
