Cargo ship sinks near Istanbul with 10 sailors missing
The Turkish cargo ship "Tugberk Imamoglu" sank in the Sea of Marmara after colliding with the oil tanker "ALSU" just before dawn, approximately 18 nautical miles west of Silivri, Istanbul. There were 10 people on board, all of whom are Turkish, and so far, no survivors have been found despite the discovery of empty life rafts and life jackets. The collision occurred around 3:15 a.m., and rescue operations, which include 14 ships and a helicopter, have been launched. It is believed that the depth of the area reaches up to 900 meters, and the "ALSU" tanker was not damaged and is also participating in the search efforts. The cause of the accident is unclear, but human error is considered one of the possible explanations.
