At Least 15 Migrants Drown and Dozens Go Missing as Ships Sink Off Greek Coast
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Greece, at least 15 migrants have died and dozens more remain missing
after a pair of boats capsized off the coast of Greece. In the first
incident, a boat carrying about 40 asylum seekers sank off the eastern
island of Lesbos. So far, 15 bodies have been recovered from the
shipwreck - all of them women. Elsewhere, authorities are searching for
survivors after a sailboat carrying about 100 migrants sank off an
island in southern Greece late Wednesday.
