A search and rescue operation has intensified off the coast of Cyprus following a ferry disaster that occurred two days ago. Authorities are currently looking for 20 people who remain unaccounted for after the incident. On Tuesday, a specialized deep-sea vessel provided by Turkiye arrived at the scene to assist in the recovery efforts, marking a significant expansion of the search capabilities.

The search area is focused on the waters where the ferry was last reported. While the arrival of the Turkish vessel is expected to aid in scanning the sea floor, officials have not yet provided specific details regarding the condition of the vessel or the exact circumstances that led to the disaster. The search remains ongoing, with international cooperation playing a key role in the current phase of the operation. No further information regarding the identities of the missing individuals or the cause of the incident has been released to the public at this time.
