A fatal maritime incident occurred near the Greek island of Lesbos when a speedboat carrying migrants collided with a vessel operated by the Hellenic Coast Guard. The crash resulted in the deaths of six individuals, among whom was an infant. Greek Shipping Minister Vassilis Kikilias attributed the tragedy to the actions of migrant traffickers. Preliminary findings from the investigation suggest that the migrant boat struck the port side of the coast guard ship with its bow. Authorities are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the collision as the incident highlights the ongoing dangers faced by those attempting to cross the Aegean Sea.
