Filo Jet shipwreck: Nine dead and 19 missing off Kyrenia coast

The Filo Jet passenger ferry, which was traveling between Kyrenia and Mersin, capsized off the coast of Northern Cyprus on August 30. Of the 267 people on board, 241 were rescued, but the death toll has risen to nine people, with 19 individuals still missing.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing at depths of approximately 514 to 550 meters. The Turkish Navy is assisting the effort with vessels including the TCG Işın and TCG Alemdar, utilizing remote-operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) and advanced sonar technology to locate the wreckage and missing passengers.

The disaster has triggered significant political consequences in Northern Cyprus. Prime Minister Unal Üstel has removed the Minister of Public Works and Transport, Erhan Arıklı, from his post to ensure an impartial investigation. Following this move, the Yeniden Doğuş Partisi (YDP) has announced its decision to withdraw from the government. A technical and judicial investigation is underway to determine the cause of the sinking and identify any negligence or responsibility.
