Ankara, April 6 : A Guinea-Bissau flagged Ukraine-bound commercial ship sank off Turkey's Mediterranean coast, killing at least three people aboard. All of the 14 crew members on the "Joe 2" vessel that sank off Kumluca district of Antalya province were Syrian nationals, the semi-official Anadolu Agency reported on Wednesday.
