Three dead after sewage overflow causes German train to derail, say police
Three people have been killed and several others seriously injured after an overflowing sewage shaft caused a passenger train to derail in south-west Germany, local authorities say, BBC reported.
Prosecutors said the train crashed between Riedlingen and Munderkingen near Stuttgart on Sunday following heavy rain in the area.
They said water was believed to have caused the overflow, triggering a landslide on the banks running next to the tracks, which caused the incident.
The train driver, another rail employee and one passenger died, while 41 people were wounded. On Sunday, German Chancellor Freidrich Merz said he "mourn[ed] the victims" and offered his "deepest sympathy" to their families, according to BBC.
Cambodia and Thailand begin peace talks as fighting continues

At least 33 people have been killed and thousands displaced since the violence began on July 24. The talks follow a call from US President Donald Trump, urging both nations to halt hostilities as a condition for progressing in trade negotiations with Washington.
The long-running dispute stems from century-old border demarcations dating back to the French colonial era, according to BBC.
