http://bit.ly/2hpEgjG At least 15 migrants are known to have died and 20 are missing after a boat went down off the Turkish Black Sea coast. The Turkish coast guard rescued a further 40 people from the vessel, which sunk off Kefken in the province of Kocaeli. The search is ongoing for the missing. The rescue operation began at dawn, after a commercial ship received an alarm signal from a fishing boat carrying the migrants. An airplane, a helicopter and three coast guard vessels, supported by five commercial ships, are involved. In recent weeks the flow of migrants along the Black Sea route from Turkey to the coasts of Bulgaria and Romania has increased.
