A ferry carrying nearly 270 people capsized off the coast of Kyrenia in northern Cyprus. The incident resulted in multiple fatalities, with at least eight deaths reported and nearly 20 people still missing as of the latest updates. Search and rescue operations, including divers, were deployed to scour the deep waters for any survivors. Survivors were rescued by passing vessels after clinging to the upturned hull of the double-hulled, catamaran-style ferry. The vessel reportedly took on water before flipping over. The ferry had been traveling from the port of Kyrenia. This event has made Kyrenia, a port city in northern Cyprus, newsworthy due to the tragic ferry accident and ongoing search efforts.
