At least 18 people were killed and more than 40 others injured in a collision between two passenger trains in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi on Thursday, police and health officials said.
A passenger train crashed into another stationary train on the outskirts of the commercial capital, causing three carriages to overturn.
