Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSixteen refugees were drowned and around 30 missing after their boat sank in the Mediterranean off the north of Cyprus, Turkish state media reports.
The boat was carrying 150 people when it went down off the village of Yeni Erenkoy in the breakaway Turkish Cypriot-controlled portion of the island, which is only recognized by Ankara.
Over 100 people were rescued in a joint operation by Turkish Cypriot and Turkish coastguards, reports say.
