Eight people were saved, seven drowned while another two are missing, after a vessel carrying illegal immigrants sunk last night northeast of cape Korakas-Mytilene island.
Seven people were found dead and two are still missing, after a vessel carrying illegal immigrants sunk last night, a little after midnight. The remaining 8 persons aboard were saved. Among the dead are two children.
The search for two more persons-possibly men- still continues in the area, with the aid of two vessels and a super-puma helicopter.
The reasons for this tragedy still remain unknown.
