Greek rescue operations underway for 2 vessels crammed with dozens of migrants
Fox News
Greece launched rescue operations for two sailboats carrying dozens of passengers Wednesday in a recent surge in migrants attempting to reach the European country.
It was not immediately clear where the sailboat had set out from, but the area lies on the route often used by smuggling vessels carrying migrants from Turkey or northern Africa to Italy.
In the second incident, a rescue operation was launched for about 60 people on a sailboat near the northwestern coast of Kythnos island, one of the Cyclades to the southeast of Athens.
