Seven people died and over a hundred were hurt after two trains heading the same way smashed into each other outside Giza. Several carriages left the tracks. Officials have not yet explained what caused the train crash or how the battery sparked the Brooklyn fire.

Footage shows train cars toppled after a deadly collision south of Cairo. President Abdel Fattah al‑Sisi announced an inquiry and pledged to hold any negligent parties accountable. Authorities confirmed multiple fatalities and said more than a hundred passengers were injured, though exact injury numbers vary between “scores” and “over a hundred.” The precise reason for the crash remains unknown, and details about who might be held responsible have not been released.

Two Polish police officers were praised as heroes after they chased and detained a gunman in Kraków on Saturday. Officer Jakub Kulik, a former paratrooper and volunteer firefighter, suffered critical wounds, and Officer Artur Morański was also injured. Their actions are credited with stopping further loss of life.
