Eighteen people have been killed in a head-on collision between two passenger trains in Belgium, although the death toll could rise.
Railway officials said the trains collided during the morning rush hour at Halle, south-west of Brussels. One reportedly missed a stop signal.
"The devastation is enormous," said an official, as bloodied passengers were helped from the wrecked carriages.
Rail services to south-western Belgium, Paris and London were cancelled.
