Twenty-five people were killed on Monday in a collision between two boats in a river in central Bangladesh, police said.

"We rescued five people and recovered 25 bodies after a boat carrying at least 30 people and another collided in the Padma River near the city of Shepishar,”  said local police chief.

On April 5, a ferry carrying about 50 people sank after it collided with another boat in central Bangladesh. Hundreds die annually in ferry accidents in Bangladesh.
