Since Wednesday, there have been two marine tragedies involving migrants off the coast of Greece.
According to “Reuters,” the Greek coast guard estimated that the sinking boat was carrying roughly 40 people based on the five people who had been saved thus far.
He stated that 15 bodies have been discovered, leaving roughly 20 persons unaccounted for. East of the Lesbos island, close to the Turkish coast, the boat sank.
Strong gusts were blowing in the vicinity, so the Greek coast guard ship and an air force aircraft sped to conduct search and rescue operations.
The wider Lesbian coast has been searched for potential migrants who may have made it to the coasts. In a secluded location, three persons were discovered stranded.
Earlier on Wednesday, 30 migrants were saved by Greek officials after their boat capsized after hitting a rocky region in rough seas close to the southern Greek island of Kythira.
Off the Greek coast, at least 15 migrants perished in the water.
