An incident with a Turkish fishing boat and a boat of the Hellenic Coast Guard took place on Tuesday afternoon in a sea area northwest of Oinouses.

Seven people, five children and two adults, drowned early Friday morning, after a flimsy inflatable craft carrying 18 people overturned in a sea region north of the Oinouses islets, the latest fatal incident involving undocumented migrants being smuggled from Turkey to a handful of Greek isles.
