A migrant boat sank in the Aegean Sea, leading to at least seven confirmed deaths, including two children. The vessel was traveling from the Turkish mainland to the Greek island of Lesbos and had been detected by the Greek Coast Guard during patrols. As of now, 23 survivors have been rescued and taken to a hospital. The cause of the capsizing remains unclear, with a search and rescue operation still in progress involving multiple coast guard vessels and air support. Many migrants reach Greece in hopes of finding refuge in the European Union, motivated by factors such as conflict and poverty.
