ATHENS (Reuters) – Thirteen crew members of a cargo ship were missing after the vessel sank off the Greek island of Lesbos, the Greek coast guard said on Sunday.
The Comoros-flagged ship had 14 crew members on board, eight of them Egyptians and the rest Syrian and Indian nationals. It issued a distress call early on Sunday, the Greek coast guard said, amid gale force winds.
The coast guard had so far rescued one person who was airlifted by helicopter.
