Bodies of at least four people have been recovered after a boat carrying nine people sank in the Aegean Sea off Turkey's western İzmir province, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported, citing a security source.

A total of nine people were on board, according to the source.

Four people jumped off the boat when the boat capsized off the Foca district due to strong winds, it said.

Search and rescue efforts were underway in the region to recover the remaining missing person, the source added. (HA/VK)
