At least 28 migrants have drowned off Greece after their boat capsized, Greek authorities said Sunday.   
Scores more were rescued near the island of Farmakonisi in the southeastern Aegean Sea, as would-be asylum seekers continue struggling to reach Europe. Nearly 3,000 people have died trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea this year, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) says.
Meanwhile, Austrian police say they rescued 42 people believed to be migrants stowed in a refrigerated flower truck on a highway near the German border on Sunday. Two Iraqis suspected as smugglers were arrested, police said.
Authorities are on high alert after the decomposing remains of 71 people believed to be migrants were found on an eastern Austrian highway last month.
More than 430,000 migrants, including refugees from Syria and Iraq, have crossed the Mediterranean Sea to Europe so far in 2015, according to the IOM.
