At least one dead after ferry capsizes off northern Cyprus

A ferry carrying nearly 270 people capsized off northern Cyprus, resulting in at least one fatality. The privately owned vessel departed from Kyrenia port and began taking on water shortly after departure. Turkish Cypriot Transport Minister Erhan Arikli confirmed one passenger died during the incident. Authorities reported that 159 passengers were located, with those rescued being taken to Kyrenia port for medical attention. Video footage showed survivors on the overturned vessel as coastguard and private vessels assisted in rescue efforts. Reports suggest the vessel, possibly a catamaran, began flooding approximately 6 km offshore.
