BRATUNAC, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A boat carrying migrants from the Middle East overturned while crossing the Drina River from Serbia to Bosnia, drowning at least 10 people, officials in the two Balkan countries said Thursday. Serbian police received a call around 5 a.m. from their counterparts in Bosnia and a citizen who reported the accident, said Interior Minister Ivica Dacic. Dacic initially said 18 migrants, including three children, managed to cross into Bosnia, out of 25 people who were in the boat when it overturned. But he later said the number of victims had reached 10, suggesting there might have been more migrants in the boat when it capsized.  “The lifeless body of a baby that is about nine months old has been found,” said Dacic. “The baby was with its mother whose body was pulled out of the river earlier today.”

His body was brought to shore in a blue body bag and driven in an ambulance to a morgue in Palermo.

Rescue divers smashed through the windows of the sunken Bayesian on Tuesday, entering the hull — but were still unable to reach the ship’s cabins, where six missing passengers may be located. 

The firefighter team managed to enter the body of the yacht after using jacks to break the 1¹/₄-inch-thick glass, Giornale Di Sicilia reported.

The rescuers reached the common areas of the 184-foot luxury vessel, but have not yet made it to the cabins — where British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five others could be hiding out and clinging to air pockets, according to one expert.
