BODRUM, Turkey — A ferry carrying more than 260 passengers capsized off the coast of northern Cyprus on Sunday, Turkish media reported.
The catamaran-style ferry was traveling from the port of Kyrenia, also known as Girne, to the Turkish port of Tasucu in Mersin province.
There are no reports of casualties so far.
The ferry started taking in water a few kilometers off the coast, the Turkish state-run TRT news channel reported.
Northern Cyprus Transportation Minister Erhan Arikli told TRT that the ship had overturned and that rescue crews were already on the scene.
