Officials in Pakistan have said that at least 71 people have been killed due to a fire on a train.
The tragic blaze was caused by a gas stove being used by passengers to cook breakfast, which exploded.
Many others are in a critical condition.
The train was passing through the Punjab city of Rahim Yar Khan on Thursday morning when the cylinder exploded, causing a fire which spread through the train, according to local police officer Amir Taimoor.
