A tourist boat capsized Saturday two miles off the Turkish shore near the
popular Antalya resort, with at least one person missing and 33 injured.

Eighty-two people, including foreign tourists, were rescued, according
to the Hurriyet daily. The injured were taken to hospitals with non-life
threatening injuries. The press officer at the Russian Embassy in Turkey
told RIA Novosti that a female Russian tourist was among those rescued.
Antalya Governor Munir Karaloglu was cited by the Daily Sabah as saying
that coast guards and maritime police officers had been sent to assist in
the ongoing rescue operation. According to the outlet, the incident
happened due to high winds and heavy rainfall.
