Fifteen migrants died off Greece after boat collision with coast guard

ATHENS, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Fifteen migrants died in the Aegean Sea off Greece on Tuesday after their boat collided with a coast guard vessel off the island of Chios, the coast guard said. A coastguard official said they spotted a dingy transporting migrants towards Chios, which lies a few miles off the coast of Turkey, and ordered them to turn back. “The smugglers manoeuvred toward the coast guard vessel causing a collision,” the official told Reuters. The coast guard said 25 migrants were rescued but one of them, a woman, later died. A search and rescue operation was ongoing. Reuters was unable to independently verify how the collision occurred. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
