ANKARA, Turkey – ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — A Spanish tourist is missing at sea after a Turkish tour boat caught fire and sank in the Mediterranean.
Turkish officials say 18 tourists and five crew jumped into the water after flames engulfed the Kayhan-9 on its way from the Turkish resort of Marmaris to Fethiye on Wednesday night.
Fethiye governor Mehmet Ali Karatekeli says a Spanish citizen and two Portuguese were slightly injured.
Rescue boats evacuated the survivors while the Turkish coast guard was searching Thursday for the missing Spaniard.
The cause of the fire was not immediately clear.
