Seven South Korean tourists have died and at least 19 more are missing after a boat capsized on the Danube river in Hungary's capital, Budapest.

Thirty tourists and three tour guides, as well two Hungarian crew members, were on the boat when it was hit by another vessel while moored.

The incident occurred at about 22:00 local time (20:00 GMT) 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.

What is known about the incident?

The boat that sank near the parliament building in central Budapest was identified as the Hableany, or Mermaid.

The boat has two decks and a capacity of 45 people for sightseeing trips.

So far few details have emerged about the second vessel involved in the collision.

Officials are investigating what caused the rare incident on the Danube.

Imre Horvath, the head of the Hungarian National Shipping Association, said he believed it was a human error, MTI news agency reported.

How has South Korea reacted?

South Korea's foreign ministry has confirmed that seven of its citizens have died and 19 are missing.

It said the government would send a team of officials to Hungary, adding that counselling would be made available to victims' families.

At a press conference in the South Korean capital, Seoul, a spokesman for the travel agency behind the group's tour, Lee Sang-moo, said at least one child was among the missing.
