Greek authorities have recovered the bodies of four individuals from the sea near the eastern Aegean island of Rhodes, with an additional 25 survivors found on land following a tragic incident involving a migrant smuggler. The bodies of three men and one woman were discovered on the southern tip of Rhodes, while the group of survivors was located on land, initially with 11 individuals found and the remaining survivors located later.
According to reports from the survivors, they were being transported from the Turkish coast to the Greek island on a speedboat when the smuggler operating the vessel forced them overboard into the water before abandoning them. A search and rescue operation was conducted in the area, with authorities confirming that there were no additional missing persons after consulting with the survivors. The nationalities of the passengers have not yet been disclosed.
