Cambodian cargo ship sinks off Turkey: reports

Ten sailors were missing after a Cambodian-registered cargo ship sank in a storm Tuesday in the Black Sea off north-western Turkey, according to local media reports.

The vessel, which was coming from Russia, capsized off the Turkish city of Zonguldak, NTV and CNN Turk said, citing local authorities, adding that two crew members had been rescued.

Turkey has in recent days faced bad weather and a cold snap, which have spread to swaths of central and eastern Europe and claimed several lives.
