The number of migrants killed near the Peloponnese reached 11


 

 Search teams have found four more bodies at sea off the coast of Antikythera, southeast of the Peloponnese, killing 11 people on board a sunken migrant boat, the Greek Coast Guard said, according to the Athens newspaper Kathimerini.

It appears that about 100 passengers were crammed into a boat that crashed into rocks off the island. 90 of them were rescued on Friday morning after swimming and spending the night in a cave on a small island.

Meanwhile, an operation is under way to search for at least 30 passengers who went missing off the coast of Folegandros after a boat sailing from Turkey sank on Wednesday.
