A boat carrying about 20 people capsized Sunday evening in southern Albanian waters, and three have been confirmed drowned, police said.
The boat sank in the lake of Butrint, about 300 kilometers south of the capital city of Tirana. About 15 people have been rescued, but the darkness hampered the rescue efforts.
Local media reports said that this is a passenger boat, but there are other reports alleging they are migrants trying to illegally cross border into neighboring Greece.
