A train derailment in the Oaxaca region of southwestern Mexico resulted in at least 13 deaths and injured almost 100 people. The Interoceanic train, traveling between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean with 241 passengers and nine crew members, derailed near the town of Nizanda. Ninety-eight people were injured, with 36 hospitalized. Mexican authorities, including the Attorney General, have launched an investigation into the cause of the accident. The Interoceanic rail link, inaugurated two years ago to boost the region's economy, is part of a broader government initiative to expand rail infrastructure and stimulate economic development in southern Mexico.
