More than three dozen people died in Spain after a high-speed train derailed and hit another coming from the opposite direction. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez canceled his trip to Davos and declared three days of mourning.

The last two carriages of the train traveling between Madrid and the coastal city of Málaga jumped the track, leading to the collision, according to a statement from Renfe, Spain’s publicly owned train company. At least 39 people died, Transport Minister Óscar Puente said in a post on X on Monday.
