At least 79 people have died and dozens are feared missing off the coast of Greece after a fishing boat carrying migrants capsized and sank.

Authorities said 104 people have been rescued following the nighttime incident in international waters some 72km (45 miles) southwest of Greece's southern Peloponnese region. The spot is close to one of the deepest areas of the Mediterranean Sea.
