Three migrants died and four others were missing after an inflatable boat began taking on water Thursday in the Aegean Sea off Turkey\u2019s western coast, Agence France-Presse reported.<\/p>\n

The Turkish coast guard said 38 people were rescued in the incident near the Fo\u00e7a district of \u0130zmir province, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the Greek island of Lesbos, a common route for migrants trying to reach Europe.<\/p>\n

Search and rescue operations were continuing for the missing people, the coast guard said, adding that it deployed multiple vessels and helicopters.<\/p>\n

At least 524 migrants have been killed or gone missing in the Mediterranean Sea since the start of 2026, according to the International Organization for Migration\u2019s Missing Migrants Project.<\/p>\n

The agency recorded 1,873 migrants missing or dead in the Mediterranean in 2025.<\/p>\n
