Greece migrant boat collision kills 15

A collision occurred between a speedboat carrying migrants and a Greek coast guard patrol vessel off the eastern Aegean island of Greece — Chios, resulting in at least 15 deaths. Twenty-five migrants and two Greek coast guard officers were rescued, with many requiring hospitalization on Greece — Chios. The exact cause of the collision is unclear, though the Greek Coast Guard stated the speedboat refused to stop and changed direction, colliding with their vessel. This incident underscores the ongoing migration crisis in Greece, a major entry point into the European Union for people fleeing conflict and poverty. Greece, along with other European Union countries, has been tightening its migration regulations, leading to increased patrols and allegations of pushbacks.
