Search and rescue operation involving boats, helicopter and divers under way off the eastern Aegean island of Chios
A collision between a speedboat carrying migrants and a Greek coastguard patrol vessel off the eastern Aegean island of Chios has killed at least 14 people, the coastguard said.
A search and rescue operation involving four patrol vessels, an air force helicopter and a private boat carrying divers was under way for potential missing passengers.
The coastguard said another 24 people were rescued and transported to a hospital on Chios, as were two coastguard officers who were injured in the incident. It was unclear how many of the survivors transported to the hospital had been injured.
The coastguard said it was not immediately clear how many people had been on the speedboat.
