TUNIS: A train collision in Tunisia's capital on Tuesday injured 49 people, one of them seriously, the interior ministry said.
"Following a collision between two trains at Dubosville station, the number of injured has risen to 49, including one serious case," a ministry statement said, adding that all were hospitalised.
On June 16, Tunisia experienced one of its worst railway disasters, with at least 18 people killed when a train hit a lorry and derailed at a level crossing south of the capital because of a signal fault.
