At least two people died and 20 were believed missing after a migrant boat capsized in the Aegean Sea. The coast guard said 57 people were rescued in the deadly sinking.
The sinkings came as smugglers increasingly favor a perilous route from Turkey to Italy, which avoids Greece’s heavily patrolled eastern Aegean islands that for years were at the forefront of the country’s migration crisis.
Smugglers based in Turkey increasingly have packed yachts with migrants and refugees and sent them toward Italy.Earlier, 11 people were confirmed dead after a sailboat Thursday struck a rocky islet some 235 kilometers south of Athens, near the island of Antikythera. The coast guard said Friday that 90 survivors ‒ 52 men, 11 women and 27 children ‒ were rescued after spending hours on the islet.
In a separate incident Friday, Greek police arrested three people on smuggling charges and detained 92 migrants after a yacht ran aground in the southern Peloponnese region.
