About 60 people died today when their overloaded ferry capsized in the Arabian Sea off southern Pakistan, a navy spokesman said.

The accident occurred near the remote coastal town of Kharo Chao, about 110 miles southeast of the port of Karachi, navy Lt. Cmdr. Salman Ali said.

“Divers from the Pakistan navy are looking for the bodies, but so far we only know that about 60 people have drowned,” he said.
