At least 64 people have been killed in a collision between two high-speed trains south of Madrid, in the province of Toledo. Dozens of injured are in serious condition.

According to the regional government, more than 500 passengers were on the trains. Infrastructure operator Adif said trains of the Renfe and Iryo companies collided on the Madrid–Seville route.

It is Spain's worst railway disaster since 2013, when 80 people died near Santiago de Compostela. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said he was shocked.

Three days of mourning have been declared in the country. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan offered condolences to the Spanish people.
