A 6-year-old girl is among 33 South Korean tourists whose boat capsized after a collision on the Danube River in downtown Budapest.

A search is underway for 21 people missing while seven have been confirmed dead and another seven have been rescued.

The Very Good Tour agency, in charge of the group tour, disclosed the identities of the seven rescued South Koreans ― six women and one man, aged between 31 and 66.

The girl's status is unclear but she does not appear on a list of survivors provided by the travel agency.

The sunken boat was located early Thursday near the Margit Bridge, not far from the neo-Gothic Hungarian Parliament building on the riverbank. The tour boat was anchored when it was hit by a bigger ship. (AP)
