ATHENS (AA) - At least six irregular migrants died over a shipwreck in the Aegean Sea off the coast of Greece's Lesbos Island on Tuesday.
The accident was only noticed early on Tuesday when a passerby saw the bodies of the migrants washed ashore by the sea.
The Greek Coast Guard is currently operating a large-scale search and rescue operation in the area to locate possible survivors.
According to a statement by the Coast Guard, the six bodies that were found did not have life jackets.
The cause of the shipwreck is still unknown.
