A cruise ship with a number of 25 passengers and crew members aboard has gone down off the port city of Genaveh in the Iranian southern province of Bushehr.
“The ship went down Friday afternoon after being hit by massive waves,” Genaveh governor, Teymour Yazdanshenas, said.
It was en route from Khark Island -- in the vicinity of Iran's major port city in the Persian Gulf, Bushehr -- to Genaveh port city -- located on the Persian Gulf cost between Bushehr and Daylem port city.
Yazdanshenas added one life was lost and three others went missing in the incident. The remaining 21 people were recovered by boats fishing at the site.
A search team has also been formed to recover the ill-fated missing passengers. Meanwhile, those who had sustained wounds in the event were transferred to a hospital in Genaveh to receive medical treatment.
