Two passenger trains have collided in southern Pakistan, killing at least 30 people and injuring dozens more.
According to the officials, one train travelling in the Sindh province derailed and landed on another track. A second train which also packed with passengers then collided with it and overturned. The injured were rushed to nearby hospitals and it is also reported that several are in a critical condition.
Pakistan has over the past years seen deadly train accidents.
A senior official in the Ghotki district was quoted saying that eight carriages were destroyed and that conditions were making it hard to rescue trapped passengers.
Prime Minister Imran Khan said he was “shocked” by the accident and promised a full inquiry.
