Peru: 30 missing after boat sinks
A cargo boat sank in heavy rain around dawn today in the Ucayali River in Peru’s central jungle with an unknown number of passengers on board.
The Brian II, a 26-metre vessel, went down around 5.30am local time (10.30am Irish time), said Lt Raul Rosello in the Port of Ucayali in Pucallpa, 305 miles north-east of the capital, Lima.
