Thousands of fans from all over Iraq gathered in the early hours of the morning to watch the Arab Gulf Cup final match, which was held in the Cudunahala Stadium in Basra. A stampede broke out as the ticketless fans wanted to enter the stadium. Authorities reported that 1 person was killed and at least 60 people were injured in the incident.
At least 18 people were injured when two passenger trains collided on a suburban line between Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava, and the nearby town of Pezinok. The injured were taken to four hospitals under Bratislava University Hospital.
Authorities said the cause of the crash remains under investigation, and Slovak Railways has launched an inquiry. The incident follows another train accident in eastern Slovakia last month that injured 20 people.
