Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

A ferry capsized off Northern Cyprus, killing at least seven and leaving 23 missing. The incident occurred shortly after the vessel departed Kyrenia Port, en route to the Turkish port of Tasucu.

The capsized ferry, operated by Filo Denizcilik, sank near Diana Beach, with 267 passengers and crew on board. The vessel encountered adverse weather and began taking on water 15 minutes after departure, prompting a distress call.

Northern Cyprus Prime Minister Unal Ustel confirmed the tragedy, stating that 237 people were rescued and a search continues for the remaining 24. The ferry company has established a hotline to assist families seeking information.

The incident highlights the risks faced by vessels in the region, where the ferry operated in waters controlled by Turkey but not internationally recognized.
