A series of maritime incidents involving capsized vessels has occurred in the Mediterranean Sea. In early September, a commercial ferry carrying approximately 300 people sank north of Cyprus. International rescue operations involving neighboring coastal states were launched to locate missing persons, though adverse weather conditions hindered tactical divers. Medical facilities prepared for survivors suffering from hypothermia and traumatic injuries while investigations began into potential structural failures or overloading. Later in the month, a boat carrying 77 migrants capsized 38 nautical miles south of ~~Gavdos.~~ Gavdos in the Libyan Sea. While 51 migrants were rescued by passing vessels and one unconscious individual was located, authorities continued intensive searches for approximately 25 missing persons. The operation involved the Hellenic Coast Guard, Frontex ships, aerial assets, and a Hellenic Air Force helicopter.
