An Italian navy ship has arrived in Albania with 49 intercepted migrants for asylum processing, marking the third transfer attempt under a controversial deal.

The agreement allows for up to 3,000 migrants per month to be processed in Albania, with the European Court of Justice set to review the arrangement's legality.
