The Foreign Ministry is monitoring the situation closely through the embassy following the incident, which occurred around 8:54am local time. They are in communication with relevant Spanish authorities and railway operators to determine if any Malaysians were among the passengers involved and to arrange consular assistance if needed. High-speed rail services between Madrid and Andalusia have reportedly been suspended due to the collision. The ministry advises Malaysians traveling in Spain, especially those using the affected railway services, to check the latest service updates with their respective operators and make alternative travel arrangements if necessary. Malaysians who may have been impacted by the incident or have information concerning Malaysians involved are encouraged to contact the embassy to help with verification and provide consular assistance. Malaysians residing in or traveling to Spain are urged to register and regularly update their contact details through the e-Konsular portal. For immediate consular assistance or emergencies, Malaysians can contact the Malaysian Embassy in Madrid through its 24-hour emergency helpline, general enquiry lines, or email. The ministry will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates as necessary.",
