A 12-year-old girl has died after being swept out to sea off the coast of Rodopi in northern Greece on Friday, authorities said, despite a major search and rescue operation to save her.
A relative alerted the Coast Guard on Friday afternoon after the girl was carried away from the shore near the area of Imeros.
A large search involving two Coast Guard vessels, a helicopter, and private boats was immediately launched.
Rescue teams found the girl unconscious in the water, wearing an inflatable life jacket. Paramedics performed CPR while she was being transported to Komotini General Hospital, but she could not be revived.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
