Six migrants, including a baby, died after a speedboat carrying them from Turkey collided with a Greek coast guard vessel while fleeing in the sea about 3.5 nautical miles southeast of Agrilia on Lesbos. Eight survivors were rescued and taken to Mytilene, and a 37-year-old Turkish smuggler and boat operator was arrested.
