ATHENS, Shawwal 08, 1437, July 13, 2016, SPA -- A search and rescue operation was underway off the coast of the eastern Aegean island of Lesbos Wednesday after a boat carrying migrants overturned, leaving a child dead and six people missing, AP reported. The coast guard said the body of a girl had been retrieved from the sea while four survivors had been rescued. The first two had told authorities they had been in an inflatable dinghy with another nine people when the vessel capsized as it headed to the island from the nearby Turkish coast. Vessels from the Greek coast guard and the European border agency Frontex were searching for the missing. --SPA 10:16 LOCAL TIME 07:16 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
