The Unified Search and Rescue Coordination Centre (EKSED) is directing the operation, deploying two Coast Guard vessels and an Air Force helicopter. Efforts to find the missing child remain ongoing.
In a separate incident elsewhere in the Aegean, EKSED coordinated the rescue of 39 refugees and migrants from a dinghy roughly 44 nautical miles south of Kala Limena, Crete. All were brought to safety without injuries.
