At least 11 people were drowned as a boat capsized off the Greek island of Farmakonissi, the country's coast guard said on Wednesday.
The boat carried refugees and migrants from Turkey, Xinhua quoted an official as saying.
The victims included five children, the official said.
A total of 15 people were rescued while two remain missing.
