DHAKA: A train has derailed in the Russian capital Moscow, killing at least three people, injuring many more and leaving some passengers trapped.

Officials say, reports the BBC.

A statement from the metro said only that a train derailed on the network’s blue line, without providing any details.

There is no word as to the cause of the crash, in the west of the city.

The Moscow metro is one of the oldest and most extensive underground railway systems in the world.
