Jakarta/Xinhua: Seven people were killed and six others injured after two boats collided on a river in Indonesia's Central Kalimantan province, a disaster agency official said on Tuesday.

A military boat carrying personnel and officials of a presidential security force collided with another one carrying people of a nature conservation agency on Sebangau River in the provincial capital of Palangkaraya, said Agung Wimba Winata, head of the Provincial Disaster Management Agency's Emergency Unit. All the bodies of the seven people have been recovered," he told Xinhua.

The military personnel and the officials of the presidential security force took the journey as part of the preparation for a Dutch Royal visit to the province, according to Winata. A Dutch national is among the wounded persons in the accident, said the official. Twenty people survived the fatal boat collision, he said.
