A collision between a speedboat carrying migrants and a Greek coast guard patrol vessel off the eastern Aegean island of Chios has killed at least 14 people, the coast guard said late Tuesday, while a search and rescue operation involving patrol boats, a helicopter and divers was underway for potentially missing people.
The coast guard said another 24 migrants were rescued and transported to a hospital on Chios, as were two coast guard officers who were injured in the incident. It was unclear how many of the survivors transported to the hospital had been injured.
