In Spain, in the area of Urda station near Toledo in central Spain, at least 39 people died as a result of a train derailment, reports Antena 3. Footage from the scene, captured by eyewitnesses, shows an overturned train carriage.
The high-speed AVE train collided with an Iryo train that had stopped on the tracks, after which two carriages fell from the embankment.
Renfe announced the suspension of railway service between Madrid, Ciudad Real, and Andalusia.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated in his X post that he was "deeply saddened" by the train disaster and expressed "solidarity and support for the victims and their families".
