Several people have been reported killed in a crash involving two trains near Russian capital Moscow.
According to a preliminary report from Russia's Interior Ministry, five people died and 15 were seriously injured when a freight locomotive crashed into a passenger train.
The collision happened on the Bekasovo-Nara line, near the town of Naro-Fominsk and 24 miles from central Moscow.
Several of the goods train's carriages derailed immediately before the crash, Russian news agency Itar-Tass reported.
In a statement, Russia's Emergencies Ministry said: "Keep calm, do not panic."
Itar-Tass reported that police had said 16 carriages on the freight train derailed and smashed into the passenger train.
Three carriages holding people on the passenger train, which was en route from Chisnau to Moscow, reportedly overturned in the crash.
Rescue coordinator Vadim Andronov told Itar-Tass that the death toll was likely to rise.
"One of the carriages of the passenger train was crushed by the freight train wagons," he said.
"Rescuers are working to pull out injured people being crushed by the wagon."
