At least seven people have been killed in a shipwreck off Cyprus with more than 260 people on board.

A passenger ship operated by Filo Jet, carrying over 260 people, capsized shortly after departing from the port of Girne in northern Cyprus. At least seven people have been confirmed dead, while 237 were rescued and 23 remain missing. Rescue operations involving coast guard vessels, helicopters, private boats, and fishing ships are ongoing. The cause of the accident remains unclear, though oceanographer Simon Boxall suggested possibilities such as collision with an object in the sea or improper cargo distribution. The ship's operator, Filo Denizcilik, stated they were deeply shaken by the incident and have coordinated with rescue teams.
