At least 13 people died and nearly 100 were injured when a train derailed in Mexico's Oaxaca region, the navy reported. The train was carrying 241 passengers and 9 crew members. According to the Mexican navy, 98 people were injured, with 36 hospitalized. The accident happened near the town of Nizanda as the train rounded a bend. Mexico's Attorney General confirmed an investigation is ongoing. President Claudia Sheinbaum said five injured were in serious condition. High-level officials, including the Secretary of the Navy, are heading to the crash site. Photos showed rescue teams helping passengers from the train, which fell off the tracks and tilted down a cliff. The Interoceanic train, run by the Mexican navy, connects the Pacific port of Salina Cruz with Coatzacoalcos on the Gulf coast. It has two engines and four passenger cars. Oaxaca Governor Salomón Jara Cruz expressed "deep regret" and said state and federal agencies are working together to assist those affected. The train link was opened two years ago to boost the economy. The project, led by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, aims to modernize the rail system across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The government hopes to develop the region into a key trade corridor by expanding ports, railways, and industrial infrastructure. This train service is part of a larger plan to grow passenger and freight rail in southern Mexico and stimulate the local economy.
