17 found dead in migrant vessel off Greek island
Hindustan Times Mumbai
|December 08, 2025
Seventeen men were found dead Saturday after a migrant vessel was found drifting off the Greek island of Crete, a coastguard spokeswoman told AFP.
“Two survivors in critical condition have been hospitalised,” the spokeswoman added.
“Autopsies have to be carried out as the circumstances of the sinking are not known.”
Greek state television channel ERT said the bodies had been found inside the vessel, which was taking on water and partly deflated.
Manolis Frangoulis, the mayor of Cretan port Ierapetra, told reporters that all the victims had been young.
“The vessel the migrants were on was deflated on two sides, which forced the passengers into a reduced space,” he added.
