Baghdad, Iraq- A train derailed on the Baghdad-Fallujah railway line, causing significant damage to parts of the track. The incident occurred in the afternoon, leading to disruptions on this important route that connects the two cities.

According to local sources, the train went off the tracks, resulting in substantial destruction to the infrastructure. Emergency response teams were quickly deployed to the site to assess the damage and begin repairs.
