ANKARA, Turkey (AP) – The latest developments as tens of thousands of people flee to Europe in search of asylum. All times local.

12:55 p.m.

A Turkish media report says the bodies of seven more migrants have washed up on a shore in Turkey – in a second migrant tragedy at sea in one day, bringing the death toll to at least 16.

The Dogan news agency says the seven bodies, including women and children, washed up on the coast of Dikili on Tuesday, hours after nine bodies were discovered further north, on a beach in the resort of Ayvalik.

Dogan said the migrants in both incidents died after their rubber boats overturned in rough waters.
