At least 19 migrants have died and 20 were rescued after a rubber boat carrying migrants sank early this morning off the coast of Bodrum in Turkey’s Muğla province.

The incident occurred around 6:00 a.m. near the settlement of Yalıkavak, the DHA news agency reported. The Coast Guard deployed ships and a helicopter from İzmir to carry out search and rescue operations. Initial teams recovered 11 bodies and rescued 21 people, Habertürk reported.

The death toll later rose to 19, and rescue operations are still ongoing, involving both air and naval forces.
