News summary

A tragic incident occurred when the Greek coastguard opened fire on a speedboat carrying migrants from Turkey, resulting in the death of a 39-year-old man, believed to be from Kuwait. The coastguard reported that the boat ignored multiple warnings and attempted to ram their vessel, prompting them to fire warning shots before targeting the speedboat's engine to immobilize it. The deceased was found fatally wounded, while the other 13 migrants, including children, were unharmed and transported to the island of Symi. A Greek prosecutor has ordered the arrest of the coastguard officer involved and the confiscation of the weapon used. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Greece as a primary entry point for migrants, with nearly 30,000 arrivals reported this year, primarily from Afghanistan, Syria, and Egypt. The Greek coastguard's actions have sparked investigations and raised questions about the treatment of migrants in the region.
