A tragic incident unfolded as a migrant boat sank off the coast of Lesbos, leading to the deaths of four individuals, including a child, according to Greece's coast guard.

This incident highlights the perilous journey many migrants undertake from the Turkish coast to Greek islands, often in unseaworthy vessels. The nationalities of the victims and survivors remain unknown, as does the cause of the sinking.
