The death toll from an accident on railway tracks in Spain has increased to seven.

The death toll from the derailment of two trains in the Spanish province of Cordoba has grown to seven people, while it became known about 25 victims. This was reported on January 18 by the online newspaper LibertadDigital, citing representatives of the Civil Guard.

"At least seven people were killed and 25 seriously injured as a result of the derailment of two trains in Cordoba," the article says.

The causes of the accident have not been reported at the moment. According to the article, there is disorganization at the scene of the incident — the survivors do not know where to go and are in a state of shock. Representatives of the Madrid special services arrived at a nearby train station in order to provide assistance to the victims and relatives of the victims.

Spanish Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility Oscar Puente Santiago wrote on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter) said that the situation is "very serious" — at the time of the tragedy, the first two cars of one of the passenger trains "were destroyed", which is why it is "not yet possible to determine the exact number of victims."

The elPeriodico newspaper reported on the derailment of two trains on January 18. At that time, it was known about two dead and an unknown number of injured. Later, the online newspaper LibertadDigital reported an increase in the death toll to five people. It was noted that in the area where the tragedy occurred, five mobile points were deployed to provide intensive care to the victims right at the scene of the incident.
