A search operation is underway off the Greek island of Corfu for 22 people, missing after a boat sank.
Rescue services were alerted after a 35-metre vessel packed with hundreds of migrants, including women and children, reported it was taking in water.
A cargo ship, the Momentum, was first to reach the stricken vessel, around 30 miles off the coast of Corfu.
The crew took 241 migrants on board. The worn trawler, which was bound for Italy, sunk after being cut in half following an engine breakdown, port police said. Police said the migrants were from Afghanistan.
Police have identified and detained two suspected Turkish smugglers.
Fifteen people have been hospitalised for minor injuries. Greece has become a major entry point for illegal immigrants trying to get a foothold in the European Union, with tens of thousands of migrants crossing over from neighbouring Turkey each year.
