Greece's coast guard says that 12 people have died in two separate capsizings involving speedboats ferrying migrants off the islands of Lesbos and Samos close to the Turkish coast. A coast guard spokesperson told The Associated Press on Monday that six people died in the first capsizing. That speedboat was carrying Syrian and Palestinian migrants when it struck a coast guard vessel and capsized south of Lesbos late Sunday. Another six migrants died when the speedboat they were traveling in capsized north of the island of Samos early Monday. Those killed included two women and an infant.

Serbia’s populist leader Aleksandar Vucic has returned to Novi Sad, the northern city where 16 people died in a train station tragedy almost two years ago that set off a wave of anti-government protests. The former Serbian president on Friday held a large rally in Novi Sad ahead of an early parliamentary vote on Oct. 25. Thousands of his supporters attended, many bused in from other parts of the country. A special guest was Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. The rally is seen as a show of strength by Vucic and his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party who are facing a challenge at the election from the Students’ List candidates who are backed by Serbia’s protesting university students.

Pakistani authorities have ordered inspections of all private schools in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after a school roof collapsed and killed 34 children and a teacher, as some victims’ relatives said the structure had been weak before the disaster, and at least one said he had warned the owner about leaks. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s education department set up district committees to inspect private school buildings throughout the province and submit findings and recommendations within three days, according to the order seen by The Associated Press.
