DHAKA (Reuters) – At least eight people were killed and several others injured on Monday after two trains collided in Bangladesh, police said.
The accident happened when a passenger train collided with a freight train at Bhairab, about 80 kilometres (50 miles)from capital Dhaka.
The death toll could climb as rescue operations were ongoing, local police official Sirajul Islam said.
