A passenger ferry carrying 267 people capsized off the northern Cyprus coast of Kyrenia on Sunday while en route to the Turkish port of Tasucu, killing at least eight people and leaving 18 missing. The vessel began taking on water shortly after departure.

Survivors reported the ferry moving erratically before its bow broke on impact with the water, allowing water to rush in. One survivor, Efe Multici, told CNN Turk the vessel "leapt high into the air, then came crashing down" before "the front left side burst open."
