At least 18 bodies have been recovered from the sea area south of Crete after a half-sunken boat carrying migrants was found.

So far, two people have been rescued. A search and rescue operation is underway, involving two Coast Guard vessels, a Frontex vessel, three passing ships, a Super Puma helicopter and a Frontex aircraft.

The ship was spotted on Saturday afternoon 26 miles southwest of Chryssi Island by a Turkish-flagged truck.
