ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s coast guard says rescue teams are searching for dozens of migrants reported missing after the overloaded sailboat they were on capsized and sank in rough seas off an island near Athens. The incident overnight was the latest deadly shipwreck involving migrant boats in Greek waters. Nine male survivors discovered on an uninhabited islet south of the island of Evia told authorities the sailboat had carried around 68 people. The coast guard said a cargo ship located one more survivor Tuesday afternoon. A separate rescue operation continued for seven people missing from an inflatable dinghy that capsized Monday off the coast of the eastern Aegean island of Samos.
