Egypt railway station fire: Cairo deadly blaze kill 20 people

At least 20 people have been killed and 40 others injured by a large fire at the main railway station in Egypt’s capital, Cairo, officials say.

The National Railway Authority said the fire erupted when a train collided with a concrete buffer stop at Ramses Station, in the city centre.

The train’s fuel tank reportedly exploded after the crash, setting a platform and nearby buildings on fire.

Dozens of ambulances and fire engines rushed to the scene.
