Passenger Train Derails in Germany, Killing at Least 3 People

A passenger train derailed in southern Germany on Sunday, killing at least three people and seriously injuring others.

Around 100 people were aboard the train when two carriages came off the rails at 6:10 PM local time, in a wooded area near the town of Riedlingen in the southwest of the country.

Authorities are examining whether strong winds that swept the region shortly before the incident contributed to the derailment.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed grief on his social media, saying, "We mourn the victims."
