PM says Spain working 'tirelessly' to identify train crash dead
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Friday said Spain was working "tirelessly" to identify the 69 victims of this week's high-speed train collision as the anguish of distraught relatives grows.
The Foreign Ministry of Malaysia confirmed on Thursday that no Malaysian nationals were impacted by the tragic high-speed train collision near Urda, Toledo, Spain, which occurred on Wednesday. In their statement, the ministry expressed gratitude to the Spanish authorities for their assistance and cooperation with the Malaysian Embassy in Madrid.
The Malaysian government also acknowledged the valuable support provided by the relevant Spanish authorities to the Embassy of Malaysia in Madrid, aiding in the verification process to determine if any Malaysian nationals were affected by the incident.
Expressing profound sadness, Malaysia conveyed its deepest condolences and sympathies to the Spanish government and people following the devastating tragedy resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. Media reports indicated that a computer malfunction had disabled the safety system prior to the collision of two passenger trains in Spain's Toledo province on Wednesday.
Tragic figures have been reported, with nearly 70 people losing their lives. In response to the catastrophic event, the Government of Malaysia declared three days of national mourning.
