The death toll from the ferry disaster off the coast of Cyprus has risen to ten, with eighteen people remaining missing. The high-speed ferry capsized over the weekend, but 239 passengers were successfully rescued. Initial searches recovered eight bodies, leaving twenty unaccounted for; subsequently, two more bodies have been recovered by underwater drones. Authorities in Northern Cyprus, internationally recognized only by Turkey, believe the remaining missing passengers are trapped with the wreck at a depth of 500 meters. Rescue teams are utilizing drones to recover the bodies and continue the search for the vessel's black box to determine the cause of the sinking. The operation remains focused on locating and retrieving those still missing, despite challenging conditions.
