A train carrying 250 people derailed on Sunday (Dec 28) in Mexico, killing at least 13 people and injuring 98, officials said. The train partially derailed in southern Oaxaca state, Mexican authorities said. The Mexican navy, which operates this particular rail line, said that rescue operations are underway. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that she had directed the secretary of the navy and other senior personnel to travel to the area and assist the families of those affected. Oaxaca Governor Salomon Jara said that the train plunged into a ravine while en route to the municipality of Matias Romero. "Personnel from the state coordination of civil protection and risk management, state traffic police, and ambulances are already providing support, in coordination with the Secretariat of the Navy. We will continue to provide updates," said the governor.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/bangladesh-hadi-s-brother-blames-yunus-government-conspiracy-to-derail-polls-in-bangladesh-1766556225326">Bangladesh: Hadi's Brother Blames Yunus Government; Conspiracy to Derail Polls in Bangladesh</a>
