A ferry with more than 260 passengers capsized off the north coast of Cyprus. The incident occurred in Cypriot territorial waters, in the northern zone of the island that is only recognized by Turkiye as the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

The head of the executive of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus admitted the existence of victims resulting from the accident. This region is only internationally recognized by Turkiye, which adds complexity to the management of the incident and the coordination of possible rescue operations.

Local authorities are dealing with the emergency situation after the ferry sank. No further details were provided on the exact number of victims or on the exact circumstances that led to the accident.

The ferry was carrying more than 260 passengers at the time the accident occurred off the north coast of Cyprus.
