Following the derailment of a passenger train in Northern Russia, authorities have confirmed a third fatality.

A 16-year-old girl’s body was discovered at the crash site in the Komi Republic.

She had been traveling to Penza to visit her parents when the tragic accident occurred.

The accident happened on the evening of June 26, 2024, when nine carriages of the Vorkuta-Novorossiysk train derailed on the Northern Railway.

In the aftermath of the accident, compensation plans have been announced for the victims and their families.
