Eight children drowned in a Chinese river after one fell in and the others tried to save their friend.
State media said that the primary school-aged group had gone to play at a beach on the Fu River in south-west China on Sunday.
Their bodies were recovered by Monday morning. The children came from Mixin, a town near Sichuan province on the outskirts of the sprawling metropolis of Chongqing. No further details were immediately available.
