据土耳其媒体报道，周日一艘载有近270名乘客和船员的渡轮在塞浦路斯北部沿海海域倾覆，已造成至少7人死亡。
民族分裂的塞浦路斯北部飞地的总理乌纳尔·乌斯特尔表示，已有237人获救。他对土耳其国家广播电视公司（TRT）新闻频道表示，目前仍有24人在搜救范围内。
乌斯特尔称，渡轮遭遇恶劣天气，起航仅15分钟后就开始进水。他表示，随后不久就发出了求救信号。
土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安表达了哀悼，并表示土耳其政府正在与北塞浦路斯方面协调搜救工作。
“我们希望能收到好消息，”埃尔多安周日在安卡拉出席土耳其军事学院毕业典礼时说道。
这艘双体船渡轮从民族分裂的塞浦路斯北部飞地的凯里尼亚港（又名吉尔内）出发，前往位于梅尔辛省的土耳其塔苏库港。
凯里尼亚市长穆拉特·森库尔表示，这艘船属于菲洛海运公司，在塞浦路斯北部海岸的戴安娜海滩附近海域沉没。
据土耳其广播电视公司报道，渡轮在距海岸约7.5公里（即4海里）处开始进水。
现场视频画面显示，身着救生衣的人们在倾覆船只周围的水面上漂浮。
塞浦路斯国际公认政府发言人康斯坦丁诺斯·莱廷比奥蒂斯周日在X平台上发帖称，该政府已表示准备动用一切可用手段协助搜救工作。
“在这些艰难时刻，我们与遇难者、伤者以及所有经历这场悲剧的人们同在，”莱廷比奥蒂斯说道。
“在这种时刻，保护人类生命是重中之重。”

At least seven people have died after a ferry carrying nearly 270 passengers and crew capsized off the coast of northern Cyprus on Sunday, Turkish media reported.
The prime minister of the breakaway north of ethnically divided Cyprus, Unal Ustel, said 237 people have been rescued. A search is underway for another 24 people, he told the Turkish state-run TRT news channel.
Ustel said the ferry faced adverse weather conditions and began taking on water just 15 minutes after departure. A call for help was issued shortly after, he said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered his condolences and said his government was coordinating with Northern Cyprus in the search and rescue effort.
“We hope we’ll be receiving positive news,” Erdogan said on Sunday in Ankara while speaking at the graduation ceremony of the Turkish Military Academy.

The catamaran-style ferry was traveling from the port of Kyrenia, also known as Girne, in the breakaway north of ethnically divided Cyprus, to the Turkish port of Tasucu in Mersin province.
Kyrenia Mayor Murat Senkul said the ship belonged to the Filo Denizcilik ferry company and sank off the coast of Diana Beach on Cyprus’ northern coast.
The ferry started taking in water about 7.5 kilometers, or 4 nautical miles, off the coast, TRT reported.
Video footage from the scene shows people with life vests floating in the waters around the capsized vessel.
Constantinos Letymbiotis, spokesman for Cyprus’ internationally recognized government, said in a post on X Sunday that the government had expressed its readiness to assist in search and rescue efforts with all available means.
“In these trying times, our thoughts are with those who lost their lives, those who were injured and all those who are living this tragedy,” Letymbiotis said.
“At such times, the protection of human life is paramount.”
