At least 12 people have died and dozens more are missing after a vessel capsized in the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to reports.
The incident comes only two days after another boat capsizing in the DRC killed at least 41 people, marking a second deadly maritime accident in the country within a short span.
Overcrowded and poorly regulated boats are a recurring safety concern on the DRC's rivers and lakes, which serve as key transport routes in areas with limited road infrastructure.
Search and rescue efforts were continuing as authorities worked to determine the full scale of the latest incident.
