Three bodies have been recovered by Greek rescue teams on Tuesday after a sailboat carrying 37 to 40 undocumented migrants sank in the sea between the Aegean islands of Agathonissi and Farmakonissi earlier today, according to the Hellenic Coast Guard.
Greek authorities have rescued 6 people, while Turkish rescue teams, which are also participating in the operation, have picked up 13 migrants.
Both countries are continuing their efforts to find survivors. At least 16 people are believed still missing.
