(260119) -- MADRID, Jan. 19, 2026 (Xinhua) -- People watch a televised news report on high-speed train derailment, at a restaurant in Madrid, Spain, on Jan. 19, 2026. At least 21 people were confirmed dead, and 25 others were seriously injured after two high-speed trains derailed and collided near the city of Cordoba in southern Spain on Sunday, according to authorities.
In addition, around a hundred passengers reportedly suffered minor injuries. The accident occurred at around 19:45 local time (1845 GMT) when a train carrying 317 passengers on the Malaga-Madrid route went off the rails for reasons still unknown near Amaduz, about 20 km from Cordoba, Spanish authorities said.
The derailed train struck another high-speed train travelling on an adjacent track from Madrid to Huelva, causing the second train to also leave the rails. (Photo by Gustavo Valiente/Xinhua)
