Nine migrants, including six children, died on Sunday after a speedboat carrying 15 refugees sank off the coast of Turkey's southern province of Antalya.

Six people were rescued by the Turkish coastguard and fishermen.

Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency reports there were 14-15 people on the vessel, according to the migrants, so authorities were still searching for one unaccounted for person.
