A British-flagged sailboat carrying 22 tourists capsized off the coast of Palermo, Italy, near Sicily. Seven people are reported missing, including citizens from the UK, France, Ireland, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka. The incident occurred at sunrise as the 50-meter vessel encountered rough seas and a hurricane. Italian authorities have rescued 15 people, including a child, while divers from the fire department continue searching the waters around the sunken ship, which lies half a mile offshore at a depth of approximately 50 meters.
Russia has handed over the bodies of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers in exchange for 19 Russian soldiers as part of an agreement reached during peace talks in Istanbul.
Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky stated, “As a continuation of the Istanbul agreements, we returned 1,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers today and received the bodies of 19 of our own. May they all rest in peace in their homeland.”
The Kremlin confirmed that the exchange follows the second round of peace talks held in June in Istanbul. According to Russian state agency TASS, the transfer marks the beginning of a broader process to return 3,000 Ukrainian soldiers’ bodies.
