In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a boat capsized on the Congo River, causing at least 30 persons to drown.
As search and rescue operations continue, there are worries that the death toll may increase.
The event, which took place on Friday near the city of Mbandaka in the north-west, left over 160 individuals still unaccounted for.
According to reports, there may have been an overload on the boat, which was sailing against the law at night.
The cargo included cement, petrol, and iron bars, according to officials, and it was also carrying more than 300 passengers.
Accidents are frequently when using rivers for transportation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo because there is no national road network.
