30 migrants saved after boat sinks off Greek island of Crete

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek authorities say they have picked up 30 survivors from the sea after a vessel carrying migrants sank off the southern island of Crete, prompting a large air and sea rescue operation. Efforts continued into Monday evening to locate other people who might be in the water. The coast guard said it was unclear whether anybody was missing, as the survivors were not in a position to give accurate numbers of how many had been on board when the vessel went down. A Greek naval frigate and an air force helicopter were taking part in the search, together with two coast guard boats and three merchant ships in the area.
