Leaders from South Korea, Finland, Morocco and Jordan expressed condolences and solidarity with Spain after two trains collided near Urda in Toledo province, killing at least 68 people and injuring dozens. South Korea said two of its nationals were injured and that its embassy was providing consular and medical assistance. Morocco’s King Mohammed VI offered support to Spain, while the Moroccan consulate said it was monitoring the situation and had no reports of Moroccan victims at the time. Spain declared three days of national mourning as rescue efforts continued and rail service on affected routes was suspended. Football figures and clubs, including Achraf Hakimi, Barcelona and Real Madrid, also mourned the victims, and Spain’s football federation postponed scheduled Copa del Rey matches.
