Europe’s weekend news is dominated by sudden violence and a large-scale rescue emergency. Authorities in the eastern Mediterranean and central Europe are mounting urgent operations after a ferry capsizes off northern Cyprus and separate attacks in Switzerland and Germany leave people dead and injured.
A major rescue operation is underway after a catamaran ferry capsizes off northern Cyprus with roughly 270 people on board. The vessel is reported to be traveling between Turkish Cypriot ports and Turkey, and emergency teams are searching for passengers as authorities work to determine the full scale of the incident.
Swiss police are hunting for the gunman after a shooting at a rave near Aarau kills one person and injures five others. The attack unfolds in the early hours, triggering a large emergency response and a manhunt as investigators try to identify and locate the suspect.
A 31-year-old British woman dies after being stabbed at Rosenheim railway station in Bavaria, and a 27-year-old man is in custody. Emergency crews respond shortly after midnight, take the woman to hospital, and police open a homicide investigation into the killing.
A shooting at a rave in Switzerland’s Aargau canton leaves one person dead and five wounded, adding to concern over the attack near Aarau. Police respond to reports of gunfire early Sunday and launch a major emergency and law-enforcement operation at the scene.
