Search and rescue operations continue following the sinking of the Filo Jet passenger vessel off the coast of Girne. The death toll has reached 13, while 15 people remain missing. The wreckage is located at a depth of 554 meters.

The operation is being conducted by the Turkish Navy, involving approximately 800 personnel, 9 ships, and 11 aircraft. Due to the extreme depth, teams are utilizing remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) to scan the seabed and the wreckage.

A motion has also been submitted to establish a research committee to investigate the causes of the accident. Medical authorities reported that of the 239 survivors, 131 have been discharged from hospitals, with only one person still receiving inpatient treatment.
