Twenty survivors have been rescued and at least 13 bodies recovered after a boat capsized in the Arabian Sea near the port city of Karachi, police and local media reported Thursday.
The ill-fated boat -- which carried over 50 passengers, including women and children -- overturned due to heavy winds coupled with rough seas some 3.2 nautical miles (6 kilometers) from the village of Bohara, local ARY News reported.
Authorities fear a further rise in the death toll as search and rescue operations are still underway.
