Breaking: 4 INDIANS MISSING in Maritime Tragedy | Ship Sinks near Greece | 13 crew members
In a maritime tragedy near the Greek island Lesbos, four Indians are among the 13 crew members missing as the cargo ship Raptor sank en route from Egypt to Istanbul. The vessel, carrying 6,000 tons of salt, reported a mechanical problem before disappearing 8 km southwest of Lesbos, prompting a distress signal at 7 am on Sunday. Despite a massive search operation involving eight ships and two helicopters, rough seas impeded three coast guard vessels from promptly reaching the area. Northwesterly winds exceeding 80 kph further complicate efforts to locate survivors. This incident adds to Greece’s recent challenges, including gale force winds damaging a historic warship and recurring flooding due to severe storms.
