At least 12 people have been killed and about 25 are missing following a collision between two boats on a river in the central Bangladeshi district of Munshiganj. It is the second serious accident involving a ferry over the last year. The accident happened when a smaller boat was hit by a passenger ferry at the confluence of the Shitalakhya and Dhaleswari Rivers early on Saturday morning. It is thought the boat was carrying more than 50 passengers when it was hit and sank at a spot about 30 kilometres (20 miles) south of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka.
