Greek authorities say 10 migrants have drowned at sea off a Greek island when their boat capsized — and there are fears the toll may rise as coast guard officers search the ship.
Another 68 passengers on the boat were rescued at sea early Sunday and 30 more were able to swim to the Greek island of Farmakonissi in the southeastern Aegean Sea.
The victims' nationalities have not been undetermined. A coast guard spokeswoman told The Associated Press that one child was among them.
The area has been hit by strong winds of more than 50 kph (31 mph).
