Brussels--UN chief Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday there were perhaps "other ways" than proposed EU military action to stop smugglers from shipping migrants over the Mediterranean to Europe.

"My concern was the idea to destroy all these boats," Ban told a press conference. "There may be some other ways... that is the point I expressed in my concerns."
