The incident occurred on December 20 in the Equateur Province, where the vessel HB Mbeya Mbeya capsized on the Congo River. More than 50 people are reported missing, while about 300 passengers managed to escape. Information about the number of injured has not yet been clarified. According to sources, there was also a significant cargo of goods on board. The bodies of the deceased were immediately buried due to advanced decomposition, and search operations are ongoing on the river.
