An overcrowded boat has capsized on a river in the central Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), killing at least 25 people, including children, and leaving dozens missing, according to officials and residents.
The vessel, which was believed to have more than 100 passengers on board, had left from the town of Inongo, northeast of the capital of Kinshasa, on Tuesday. It sank a few hundred metres into the journey along the Fimi river.
