Brazilian authorities say a passenger boat carrying more than 100 people has sunk in a bay, killing at least 22. Dozens more are missing.
Navy Lt Col Flavio Almeida says the vessel went down Thursday morning on the Bay of All Saints in the northeastern city of Salvador.
He says 21 people were rescued by naval teams and private boats also rushed to the scene.
On Wednesday, a boat carrying 70 people sank on a major river in Para state in northern Brazil, leaving at least 19 dead.
