  "summary": "Spain is seeking answers following a high-speed train collision south of Madrid that occurred on Wednesday morning. According to Free Malaysia Today, the accident involved a Renfe service plowing into a stationary Iryo train near the village of Urda, killing 69 people and causing numerous injuries. The disaster has overwhelmed the morgue in Toledo, which received 52 corpses, forcing the army to establish an improvised facility.\n\nSearch efforts at the crash site include the use of thermal drones and sniffer dogs, while the whereabouts of 24 foreigners involved in the Toledo crash remain unconfirmed, according to The Local Spain. In Madrid, shops have barricaded their storefronts due to fears of looting during Halloween. Additionally, The Local Spain reports that a new Munch and Picasso exhibition has opened in Málaga.",
