At least 40 people were killed and dozens of others injured in a collision between two passenger trains in southern Pakistan, officials said.
The Millat Express derailed and the Sir Syed Express train hit it soon afterward in Ghotki district of Sindh province, 526 kilometers (326 miles) from the provincial capital Karachi.
Train accidents are common in Pakistan due to poorly maintained railway signal systems and aging tracks.
