Indian trains in deadly derailment in Madhya Pradesh
Two passenger trains in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh have derailed minutes apart on a partially flooded bridge, killing at least 24 people, officials say.
The trains were passing each other near the town of Harda and several coaches have fallen into a river.
A railway spokesman told the BBC that heavy rain had caused river levels to rise, submerging the track.
Officials say at least 25 people have been injured and another 300 rescued.
The Kamayani Express travelling from Varanasi to Mumbai derailed first, while the Janata Express travelling in the opposite direction derailed shortly after.
The Press Trust of India reported that it was not clear how many passengers the trains had been carrying.
Reports say the trains were crossing a bridge over the rain-swollen Machak river, about 950km (590 miles) from India's capital, Delhi.
"This unfortunate accident took place because of the flash floods on the tracks and the track caved in and resulted in the derailment of the last six coaches of the Kamayani Express," railways spokesperson Anil Saksena told the BBC.
