Seven dead as boat capsizes in Hungary

Budapest: Seven South Korean tourists have died and over 20 are missing after a boat sank in the Danube river in Budapest.

Thirty South Korean tourists and three tour guides, as well two Hungarian crew, were on the boat when it and another vessel collided.

The incident occurred at about 10:00 p.m. (local time) on Wednesday.

Seven people have been rescued, and a massive search operation is continuing on a river swollen by heavy rainfall.

The rain had led to strong currents on the Danube, a popular draw for tourists.

Rescue teams say there is little hope of finding any more survivors.

A criminal investigation has been launched.
